A front over northern New Zealand is expected to move slowly eastwards across the North Island overnight on Saturday and during Sunday morning, becoming slow moving over East Cape on Sunday afternoon.
A moist northwest flow ahead of this front is expected to bring a period of heavy rain to Eastern BOP.
People are advised that this rain could make rivers and streams rise quickly, cause slips and surface flooding and make driving hazardous.
