We continue to track departing Cyclone Gabrielle which is weakening and falling apart int he coming days. High pressure is to the rescue with settled weather for many places from now until mid next week

Thursday: We do have a few downpours and thunderstorms in the eastern and upper North Island today (and maybe Friday – but much more isolated). We show you the risk areas and what that means for flood ravaged eastern areas.

The outlook to Tuesday is a mostly dry one for NZ with high pressure, but a cold front and some wet weather is coming in on Wednesday for Southland and then moves up the eastern side of NZ end of next week with a little bit of wet weather for Hawke’s Bay and eastern parts of the North Island (with a temperature drop too).

Finally, we have a tropical outlook as low pressure remains there.

**Programming Note** – We have no video tomorrow, Friday Feb 17th after such a long 10 days. We’re back on deck from Monday with our normal week-day videos.
