Weekend weather – looking good

This weekend the weather is shaping up to be pretty good around New Zealand with warm weather on the way for many. In the far south on Sunday conditions start to deteriorate a little during the day.
Saturday has an anticyclone covering much of the North Island and the flow will be light from the south or southeast. So everywhere out west is looking good and temperatures will be upwards of 26 or 27 degrees in some places. On the east coast there is likely to be some cloud although Wairarapa may see sunny spells.
In the South Island a northwesterly airflow starts to build so sunny warm conditions out east are on the cards although right on the coast about Canterbury a northeasterly breeze may keep temperatures relatively a little cooler then surrounding parts till evening when it dies away.
Out west in the South Island conditions are looking fairly reasonable although cloud will start to push up the West Coast later during the day, Southland and Otago will see high cloud with northwesterlies.
Sunday sees a similar pattern over the North Island however this time there may be a few light showers about Gisborne caught up in a southeasterly airflow there. The South Island is looking quite reasonable also with warm temperatures for the upper half, over the southern half a front slowly moves over during the day and is likely to bring cloud and some showers.

Winds off the northeast of the North Island seems to be the biggest player today and it should push into parts of Gisborne and Hawkes Bay as well as eastern areas of Northland plus just off Auckland.
Some rain with possibly heavy falls about Gisborne seems to be just one of the few blemishes on the radar today for the country.
Yesterday temperatures took off in the south and today it's looking cooler with near average temperatures but still the chance of some sunshine.
Overnight lows were quite mild in many areas and winds in most cases were light however a south to south east wind did cover parts of the north east of the country.
