Northland
Forecast:
A moist unstable northwesterly flow is expected to bring frequent showers and possible thunderstorms to Northland today. There is a moderate risk of Severe thunderstorms with downpours bringing localised rainfall rates of 25 to 40 mm/h.
Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface and/or flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys, and may also lead to slips.
Impact:
Note: A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favourable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. People in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and monitor for possible Severe Thunderstorm Warnings.
