We have rain and showers coming to the two opposite corners of NZ – the western South Island and East Cape.

With a couple of cold fronts coming out of the Southern Ocean/southern Tasman Sea area places like Fiordland and further up around the Nelson Ranges should see the highest totals in the coming days.

Meanwhile a weak area of low pressure crossing the North Island today and lingering nearer to East Cape on Thursday will bump up rainfall totals there with 80 to 100mm possible in the ranges.
