**Programming Note – Apologies but we have no video on Friday. This is your weekend forecast and we’ll be back again on Monday with our next update — We have your weekend forecast and the outlook to Wednesday next week as low pressure zones both impact New Zealand and Australia – but coupled with large and powerful high pressure zones too.

It means the weather systems across our part of the world at the moment are fairly large but slow moving.

NZ has rain coming for a number of days in the east of the North Island and north-east corner of the South Island, while Australia has a weekend of severe west to north west gales hugging the south-eastern corner of the continent. 

We also have another update for Mystery Creek as low pressure moves in bringing a few showers – but removing the risks of fog and frost, at least in Waikato.

Have a great weekend!
