Some areas could see between 10 and 20 millimetres of rain, while those with thunderstorms could see 30 millimetres or more.
A statement said heavier rain, particularly if concentrated over the same area of over unstable slopes, could generate localized flash floods or landslides.
The agency said showers will continue into Saturday before lessening on Sunday.
