Up to 320mm of rain could fall in Northland in 48 hours from 4pm this afternoon, MetService is warning.

A number of other watches and warnings are in place across the country in what MetService is calling an "impactful" weather event.

MetService meteorologist John Law said the heaviest rainfall was expected from Northland to Bay of Plenty and its intensity and duration would bring "threat to life from dangerous river conditions, significant flooding, and slips".

Check out windy.com where you can click the "play" button to see forecasts and then toggle through the different models like ECMWF, GFS, ICON, ACCESS. So much data to nerd out on. The rain accumulation one is great for getting an idea of what you might be in for.

If you click on a town name, it pops up with a forecast and you can click the model dropdown and it has the "Compare Forecasts" option.

The free /no-login tier is fine for most everyone.
