Civil Defence wants to remind people to be careful on the roads and drive to the conditions as severe rain hits Hawke's Bay.
Hawke's Bay Civil Defence's group controller, Ian Macdonald, said there may be localised ponding and slips on roads.
"Really the only advice we would give people is to make sure they are prepared if they are travelling in particular, and that they are very aware of the road conditions."
However, he said with the worst of the rain expected in the ranges they were not expecting significant issues with today's weather.
MetService issued a severe rain warning for Hawke's Bay yesterday morning.
