The active front lies slow moving across central parts of the country. Another front moves out of the Tasman Sea and onto the lower South Island.
There is moderate confidence of warning amounts of rain in the Richmond and Bryant Ranges(including the Rai Valley) in the early morning, and moderate confidence for Taranaki Maunga. There is low confidence of warning rain for southern Westland and Fiordland, and for the Tararua Range. There is low confidence that severe northwest gales will affect the Marlborough Sounds, Wellington and southern Wairarapa, in the morning.

The active front over central New Zealand should move slowly onto western parts of the North Island, while a second front moves weakens over the central South Island.
There is low confidence that a warning will be required for heavy rain for parts of Tasman and Nelson Districts, also northern Marlborough, the Tararua Range, Taranaki, Waitomo and parts of the North Island central high country.

The front should drift slowly eastwards over the North Island, bringing a period of northerly rain. There is low confidence of warning amounts of rain from Taranaki to Taupo and Bay of Plenty, northwards to Auckland and Northland.

The front, and an associated low, should move away to the east of the North Island. There is low confidence of northerly rain reaching warning amounts over Coromandel Peninsula, Bay of Plenty and northern Gisborne/Tairawhiti. Another front moves onto the South Island, bringing heavy rain to Fiordland and Westland, but this is not expected to approach warning amounts at this stage.
