Through to about Thursday expect a southwesterly airflow to lie over New Zealand, showers at times in the west and far south. Eastern regions are dry with sun today and Tuesday. On Wednesday the odd shower works into eastern areas from afternoon.

Thursday has southwesterlies too but they will start to ease for the South Island as high pressure moves in.

HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN THURSDAY / FRIDAY

High pressure starts to move in from the Tasman Sea on Thursday, covering most of the country on Friday. Naturally this will bring some settled weather and frosty conditions, mainly about the lower South Island on Thursday morning then elsewhere Friday morning.

We do have a frost risk for the next few mornings also, check out the upcoming frost risk here.
