For Northland, especially north of Whangarei, there is a moderate risk that thunderstorms embedded within broader areas of rain could be SEVERE with localised rainfall rates of 25-40mm/h (or possibly more) between 2pm and midnight today (Tuesday). The risk of downpours decreases in the far north this evening. Downpours are possible in localised places and may occur regardless of whether there is thunderstorm activity or not. 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. Driving conditions will also be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain. Note, there is also a broad-scale Heavy Rain Watch in force for this area, and this Severe Thunderstorm Watch covers the additional risk of embedded thunderstorms producing localised downpours.</description> <link>https://alerts.metservice.com/cap/alert?id=2.49.0.0.554.0.tswatch.nz.20250429020004622.0</link> </item>
