The forecast indicates that regions in the western highlands and around the Lake Victoria Basin will enjoy sunny intervals in the morning before showers and thunderstorms develop in a few places during the afternoon.
These storms are expected to be brief but intense, with the department urging residents to exercise caution during the afternoon hours.
Most parts of the Rift Valley will remain partly cloudy at night, turning sunny for much of Saturday before any isolated storms form later in the day.
Areas in the eastern highlands, including Nairobi and surrounding regions, have been forecast to experience sunny intervals throughout the day, with no significant rainfall expected.
According to Kenya Met, the skies will remain largely clear from morning to evening, accompanied by comfortable temperatures of between 23°C and 26°C across several towns.
Nairobi is expected to record highs of 26°C, making it one of the more stable regions weather-wise this weekend.
Northern wind advisory
The department has also issued a wind advisory for the northern region, noting that strong southeasterly winds exceeding 25 knots (12.5 m/s) may affect visibility and create blowing dust conditions.
Temperatures in the northern belt are expected to remain high, ranging between 35°C and 36°C.
Along the coast, Saturday will begin with partly cloudy conditions before light showers develop in selected areas during the afternoon, especially around the South Coast.
Most coastal towns will still experience a mix of sunshine and brief rainfall, with temperatures peaking at 31°C in Mombasa and Malindi.
Kenya Met advised the public to stay alert to updates, especially those in regions expecting isolated afternoon storms or strong winds.
