Heavy rain could bring flooding and hazardous driving conditions to the South Island's West Coast, MetService warns in a forecast shared by nzherald.co.nz.

The approaching front is expected to bring strong winds as well as rain. In the bulletin dated November 14, the presenter identifies heavy rainfall as the main concern, outlining orange warnings extending from Westland District north to Buller District through Monday.

MetService forecasts up to 400mm of rain in the ranges. That mountain rainfall total is accompanied by a warning about potential flooding and difficult conditions on the roads, rather than simply a wet end to the weekend.

Elsewhere, heat is the concern. The forecast shows warm conditions in eastern regions, with Napier and Hastings expected to reach 31°C on Monday. Both cities are in Hawke's Bay, on the North Island's east coast.

The presenter closes by directing viewers to MetService's forecasts and warnings for updates as the front approaches.
