Close to 100mm of rain could fall in coastal Otago, including Dunedin, over 48 hours, the MetService is warning. The MetService has issued a string of weather watches and warnings for tomorrow covering much of Otago and Southland as a complex low pressure system is forecast to bring large amounts of rain to much of the South Island. "A rainband associated with the low extends over Otago today and a low is expected to develop east of Otago tomorrow. Image: MetService"This will bring some rain to much of Otago and Southland, and tomorrow the rain may become heavy about coastal Otago and eastern Southland." Because light to moderate rain was likely from this afternoon, rainfall accumulation over 48 hours may come close to 100mm.
