MetService has issued a heavy rain watch for the Tasman district north-west of Motueka.
The watch covers the period from 1pm on Wednesday until 3am on Thursday.
MetService said there was a moderate chance of the watch being upgraded to a warning, and more significant heavy rain was expected on Friday.
The region is recovering from widespread flooding that wrecked homes and farmland. Since the flooding, 15 homes have been yellow stickered and one has been red stickered. They were in the Motueka Valley, Tapawera and Wai-iti.
