News story and weather video — Who will get the warm and cold weather this weekend and where will the snow fall to low levels?  Our video looks at this, plus we take a look at the weather for the All Blacks game on Saturday night and track tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons around the Americas and east Asia.

Cold snap:  A cold front will push into the deep south tomorrow but ahead of it will be warm nor’westers for eastern parts of the South Island.  A colder pool of air, straight from the Antarctic, will move in on Sunday bringing snow to low levels – but precipitation levels will be low so don’t expect a great deal of the white stuff.

The North Island will be mild and spring like on Saturday with that colder, showery, change heading through during Sunday.

On Monday most of New Zealand will have colder weather but those winds will ease by the end of Tuesday.

All Blacks:  The current forecast is for cloudy periods and mild westerlies.  Temperature will be around 10 to 13 degrees during the game with only a 20% risk of an isolated shower across Auckland.

International:  We track tropical depression Emily as it hovers over Haiti and potentially will affect Florida in the coming days.  We also monitor other hurricanes and tropical systems in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific.

We also look at the latest typhoon heading towards China.
