Our cold snap is already starting to fade.  Although it many not feel like it just yet.  Temperatures this morning are on the chilly side, to say the least.

Many inland folks are waking up to single digit temperatures.  Some isolated below zero temps wouldn’t be a surprise either.

But, as we go through out the day, that bright January sun will do its job.  We won’t see a huge warm up, but it should feel pretty nice with the warming temps and diminishing winds.

For the North Island, plenty of sunshine is expected.  Breezy southwest winds will ease off for all but Wellington.  The Windy City will likely see moderate to strong northwest winds.  Highs across the island will range from 20 to 25.

The South Island is likely to be a bit more unsettled.  Wet conditions are expected for Southland, the West Coast and Nelson.  Although Nelson may not see any rain until the early afternoon hours.  The rest of the island should remain dry.  Highs are expected to be in the low 20’s for Nelson, Marlborough and Canterbury.  Upper teens will be seen across the rest of the island except in Invercargill where highs may not clear 15.
