A southwesterly airflow flows over New Zealand for one last time today, it eases tomorrow as a ridge of high pressure moves in and an easterly airflow develops about the upper North Island.
Some western areas and the far south of the South Island sees showers today but a shower or two does make into some eastern regions for a time. There will be snow flurries about the far south and Banks Peninsula overnight (levels below) but accumulations are fairly minimal if not non existent.
