High pressure is dominating the South Island and a big chunk of the North Island this week and into the weekend.

A few showers are possible here and there – especially very top and very bottom.

Over the weekend the high settles across the South Island while an east to south east flow spreads over the North Island. A few showers on Saturday are likely in northern and north eastern areas.

Meanwhile the threat of another tropical cyclone, brought up by other forecasters, still looks to be a non-event for NZ in our view, but we’ll continue to monitor its progress in the long range projections.
