Some thunderstorms are possible for parts of Hawke’s Bay today.
The Metservice says showers will develop this afternoon, with heavy thunderstorms possible about coastal areas of the region.
A Thunderstorm Watch was issued for the region earlier this week, and heavy overnight rain on Monday saw the Central Hawke’s Bay District Council close Taylors Slab on Herrick Street in OngaOnga due to surface flooding in the area.

The $10 million of Government funding announced last week to go towards removing silt and debris from properties affected by Cyclone Gabrielle in February will allow contractors to continue work for another month.
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council Chair Hinewai Ormsby said the money, given to the Silt Recovery Taskforce, would focus on landowners needing to plant and spray ahead of the growing season.
She said those requiring collection should register with the Regional Council by the 6th of October so the Taskforce can prioritise which jobs get completed.
