West Coast residents are waking up to day three of heavy rain warnings, with further downpours forecast for this afternoon.

State Highway 67 north of Westport is closed due to a slip, and both rivers are high.

Civil Defence will decide today if people in Buller must evacuate.

Reporter Samantha Gee joins us now from next to the Buller River in Westport.
