Two orange weather warnings issued for Northland
A large low-pressure system is expected to make its way inland from the Tasman Sea this morning, bringing with it periods of heavy rain and strong wind gusts.
Peak rates of 10 to 20mm/h are forecast to fall during the afternoon and evening, with MetService stating that may cause flash flooding and river rises in the area.
The rain is set to be slightly heavier north and east of Kaikohe, with 80mm to 100mm of rainfall forecast.
The wind warning also may prove to be hazardous for Northland residents.
Active from 2pm today, the Orange Wind warning describes southeasterly gales becoming severe in exposed places, with gusts of up to 120km/h in eastern areas.
Residents are advised to exercise caution around unsecured structures and drivers of high-sided transport and motorcycles should remain vigilant.
