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).
