Today and tomorrow bring another dose of heavy rain to the Gisborne-East Coast region, along with strong easterly winds.
MetService updated its advisories yesterday to put the district under an Orange Heavy Rain Warning.
The forecast for today and tomorrow says residents can expect 100 to 130 millimetres of rain through to Saturday morning, especially north of Tolaga Bay.
