SEVERE WEATHER WARNING.
ISSUED BY MetService AT 8:53pm 10-Mar-2017
URGENT – IMMEDIATE BROADCAST IN: Northland, Auckland, Great Barrier
Island, Coromandel Peninsula, Bay Of Plenty, Nelson
HEAVY RAIN FOR NORTHLAND, AUCKLAND, COROMANDEL PENINSULA, BAY OF
PLENTY AND NORTHWEST NELSON
A low over the Tasman Sea extends a slow-moving trough over northern
New Zealand. Periods of heavy rain continue to affect the north of
the North Island and northwest Nelson tonight and Saturday, with
heavy thundery falls. Through into early Saturday morning, another
40-60mm may accumulate in Northland on top of what has already
fallen, while for Auckland and Coromandel Peninsula another 60-90mm
is likely through to mid-morning on Saturday. For Bay of Plenty,
100-120mm of rain may accumulate before easing during Saturday, and
for Northwest Nelson, 70 to 100mm may accumulate from tonight through
to late Saturday morning.
Rainfall in these areas, especially where there the ground is sodden
from previous heavy rain, is likely to cause rivers and streams to
rise rapidly. It can also lead to flash flooding and hazardous
driving conditions.
