A deep low is expected to move rapidly southeastwards across the top of the North Island. A period of severe gale southwest winds is expected over Northland, Auckland and also about the Coromandel Peninsula and the western Bay of Plenty in the lee of the Kaimai Range. These winds may uproot trees, damage structures and cause hazardous driving conditions.
Widespread rain is expected as the low crosses the North Island. At this stage rainfall accumulations seem unlikely to reach warning amounts but a watch for heavy rainfall will remain in force for some areas.
