It’s possible some area of heavy rain may brush the top of the North Island for the second long weekend in a row, as yet another big balloon of high pressure builds out to our east and encourages a sub-tropical airflow down.

But unlike Easter this one doesn’t have a storm attached to it – but an area of sub-tropical low pressure and Tasman Sea low pressure may help drag in some wet north-east weather. We’ll lock this in with more detail in our Thursday video update as the situation isn’t yet locked in.

Elsewhere cooler mornings, drier weather (a few showers here and there).
