A large ‘Easter Egg’ high pressure system is rolling in this week and will clear the southerly showers from the eastern coastline.

The high will cover NZ perfectly over Wednesday and Thursday bringing mainly dry conditions to both islands.

However over Good Friday and Saturday a cold front will move northwards and this may create an area of low pressure with some rain around northern, eastern and central NZ for Easter Sunday.

We have the latest for NZ – plus an update on the tornado and thunderstorm outbreak affecting 90 million people across America.
