There are two cold fronts bringing rain into New Zealand today and tonight, the first one is moving up the West Coast and then tonight falls apart as it moves into the Lower North Island. On the West Coast there is the chance of a heavy fall today. 

The lower North Island might get a little rain tonight/overnight tonight – or just a few drizzly showers. 

Tonight another cold front moves into the lower South Island bringing some patchy rain into Southland but Fiordland will get heavier rain, lasting a longer time. This second front will move into Otago and the West Coast overnight and weaken.
