Severe weather warning this weekend.
MetService is warning of a prolonged period of rain for western Bay of Plenty and northern Gisborne - residents could see slips, power cuts and road closures this weekend thanks to some heavy rain and big seas.
A front is expected to stay slow moving about East Cape this afternoon. A low is forecast to form to the northeast of Bay of Plenty on Saturday then move onto the area during Sunday. The front and low are expected to deliver a prolonged period of rain to Bay of Plenty and Gisborne through the weekend, with heavy falls at times. A heavy rain Watch for eastern Bay of Plenty and northern Gisborne has been upgraded to a full warning.
This watch is for the possibility that rainfall accumulations could approach warning amounts for western Bay of Plenty and southern Gisborne from Saturday afternoon to Sunday night.
- Travellers should be prepared for problems, and locals are advised to have emergency kits with enough food and drinking water for three days per person in case some people were cut off.
