EDIT
The Bureau of Meteorology on Thursday issued the severe weather warning for people in the Adelaide Metropolitan, Mount Lofty Ranges, West Coast, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Mid North, Riverland, Murraylands, North West Pastoral and parts of the Flinders districts.
The affected areas may experience flash flooding, heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds.
On Thursday, Adelaide received more than 73mm of rain, making it the wettest February day in 40 years, while up to 60mm could fall on Friday. On Wednesday, Adelaide set a summer record when it recorded its 13th day of a temperature over 40 degrees, but the rain has led to cooler weather in the 20s.
A decision has not yet been made on whether the Adelaide Fringe parade will take place in the city on Friday night.
