New Zealand's North Island will see some desperately needed rain as a low pressure system crosses the Tasman Sea.

 

The low pressure system which originated off Queensland's coast has been steadily deepening in the Tasman Sea. As the low continues to move over the upper parts of New Zealand this evening, heavy rain and strong to gale force winds are expected in Northland. The Bay of Plenty will see over 100mm of rain over the next few days, with the heaviest falls expected on Tuesday.
