Show weekend weather east of Arthurs Pass

I would welcome your considered opinions on how much rain the Poulter Valley (and headwaters) is likely to receive from the period Friday 14th 7am to Saturday 15th 7pm.
This chart suggests it could be very wet Saturday 7am but how far east it will move is the question...

We do not cross the main Poulter River but the numerous side streams, two of which are significant enough to be uncrossable in flood.
The Poulter is often chosen by trampers for its dryer eastern situation when it's hosing down on the Main Divide...
Is there a possibility the system may arrive later than on the current charts?
Thanks.
