Northwest Nelson / Tasman – Rain feeding into this area during the day will heavy.

Bay Of Plenty – As rain feeds into this area once again heavy rain may result, not looking overly bad compared to what the Bay Of Plenty has had in the past but still something to watch.

Northland through to Manawatu in the west – Taranaki may start to see heavy falls from early afternoon then spreading to other western areas late afternoon / evening. These showers may contain thunderstorms also then easing overnight.
