After a weekend of mainly settled weather for the North Island, things are about to take an abrupt change.

A deepening subtropical low is moving southwards towards New Zealand and will bring with it some severe weather, including heavy rain and easterly gales.

At this stage the heaviest rain is expected in Gisborne and Hawke's Bay during Monday and Tuesday, and a warning is in force for these areas.

This warning also covers severe east to southeast gales for eastern Bay of Plenty.

Severe weather watches are also in place for Northland, Auckland, Great Barrier Island, Coromandel Peninsula and Bay of Plenty including Rotorua, where there is the possibility that rainfall accumulations could meet warning criteria today and tomorrow.

Depending on the low position on Tuesday a few of the Watches could turn into Warnings. Here's a look at the winds around the country at the end of tomorrow. https://t.co/Yjbq0jxdqz ^KL pic.twitter.com/4UYoWPPRPW

This watch also covers the possibility that easterly winds may approach severe gale in exposed parts of Great Barrier Island, Coromandel Peninsula, and eastern Waikato north of Putaruru over the same period.

Additionally, Auckland may have a period of severe gales to exposed areas late this afternoon to tomorrow afternoon.

Flooding may become a real concern, especially in areas that received heavy rain and flooding last week.

On Thursday, the low should move away to the southeast, bringing more settled weather.

The imagery shows the position of the low pressure heading for New Zealand by the end of tomorrow. We are confident of the position of the low at this time but the model guidance going forward does give the forecast uncertainty.
