Heavy Rain Warning - Red

Details

Expect a further 70 to 110 mm to accumulate on top of what has already fallen, but 150 to 200 mm about the ranges and coastal hills. Peak rates of 15 to 25 mm/h, but 25 to 40 mm/h possible in localised places, especially in thunderstorms before dawn. Impact: Threat to life from dangerous river conditions, significant flooding and slips. Conditions will disrupt travel, make some roads impassable, and isolate communities.
