A ridge of high pressure should spread onto the North Island on Tuesday while a showery northwest flow covers the South Island. Northwesterlies should strengthen over the South Island on Wednesday as an active front approaches and moves onto Fiordland late in the day. This front moves slowly north over Westland and Buller during Thursday. Heavy rain looks increasingly likely for Fiordland and Westland during Wednesday and Thursday. The heavy rain will probably ease in Fiordland Thursday morning, and in Westland Thursday afternoon or evening. A low risk of heavy rain is indicated for western Nelson and Buller on Thursday.
