Another weather warning has been issued for the West Coast.
A storm battered the western side of the Southern Alps just under a week ago, closing roads and stranding holiday makers across the region.
State Highway 6 remains closed at Harihari, which means drivers are having to take a huge detour to get up or down the coast.
MetService forecaster Gerard Barrow said another active front is on its way, which could spell trouble.
He said there will be a lot of rain falling in a short amount of time which will compound any issues still being faced from the previous event.
