KEY POINTS:
There is more bad weather in store for Northland, where many communities are still recovering from the major floods earlier this month.
Weather analyst Philip Duncan says two weather systems colliding will bring heavy rain will put the Northland region at risk of localised flash flooding and slips.
MetService is also warning of heavy snow for the Central Plateau and higher regions of Hawkes Bay and Gisborne ranges.
Further south, drivers in Southland and Central Otago are being warned to take care, with black ice, sleet and snow likely.
