Deep tropical moisture will be the fuel for very heavy rain and downpours, resulting in river and flash flooding, as well as land slips. MetService New Zealand tells us there is a 'high chance' some orange rain warnings will be elevated to RED warnings (eastern Northland, Coromandel and BoP are some possible areas). Stay on top of the weather forecast today and listen to the advice of emergency officials and civil defence. | NIWA Weather

This animation shows forecast wind gusts on Wednesday and Thursday. While Wednesday will be gusty, it won't be as bad as what we saw on Tuesday. HOWEVER Strong low pressure will likely bring damaging winds (🔴) to the South Island and lower North Island on Thursday, and these winds will have a realistic chance to be even stronger than what we saw on Tuesday. 👉 https://www.metservice.com/warnings/home | NIWA Weather
