Whanganui is set for strong winds and heavy rain early this week with a front moving up the country.
Metservice meteorologist Tom Adams said while Monday was looking mainly fine, Tuesday was when the brunt of the week's wet weather will hit.
"It's going to be a windy start to
the week," Adams said. "As the front gets closer, winds will start to get stronger on Monday evening, with some showers.
"Looking at Tuesday, it's very much crunch day for Whanganui as the front goes through. There'll be rain and a chance of some thunderstorms as well."
A severe weather watch has been issued for Tuesday, with Metservice warning strong deluges are possible in areas including Whanganui, Taihape and Taumarunui.
