The region's under an Orange Heavy Rain Warning from 6pm - until midday Saturday, with up to 350 millimetres of rain expected.
Residents have been told to keep drains clear, avoid rivers, and be wary of potential land slips.
Nelson Mayor Nick Smith says it's a risky situation for homes still recovering from major damage in heavy rain last August.
He says things aren't expected to be as bad, but it is still possible, and they need to take all precautions.
