A severe weather warning has been issued for Nelson west of Motueka with heavy rain expected overnight.
The area includes the Kahurangi National Park where Jessica O'Connor and Dion Reynolds have been missing for more than a week.
The 23-year-olds set out from Anatori on May 9 and were due back on May 14-15.
The pair are experienced in the outdoors, and O'Connor, who works for Abel Tasman Kayaks, is said to know the area well.
