After a busy week we have a quieter weekend with a mixture of both sub-tropical winds for some areas and a colder southerly for others.

Next week high pressure continues to dominate while a low deepens near Sydney, potentially bringing severe gales there.

By Thursday or Friday next week that low drifts towards NZ with some wind and rain potential – but it’s too far out to lock in just yet.

We quickly take a look at the current forecast for later next week as it approaches.
