is high confidence that rainfall accumulations will
reach warning amounts in Fiordland, Westland,
Buller and the headwaters of the Otago and
Canterbury lakes and rivers. There is moderate
confidence in severe northwest gales for the
Canterbury high country and foothills, Marlborough,
Wellington and Wairarapa south of Carterton. There
is again low confidence that rainfall over the North
Island ranges south of Lake Taupo will reach
warning amounts.
A strong cold southwesterly flow is expected to affect
the South Island on Friday.
