NZ & Australia have high pressure this weekend, but it’s not perfectly settled with a weak southerly from Sunday to Tuesday driving in further showers across NZ.

There will be large dry areas outside of this showery zone though. Australia is mostly settled thanks to a lot of high pressure, but east to south east winds means coastal Queensland will see plenty of showers in the days ahead.

Next week, as one high departs and the next one from Australia is yet to move to in, a low pressure zone may rapidly deepen in the Tasman Sea and affect NZ with severe weather.

This is not yet locked in – but it has been showing up all week in long range computer modelling and the location of this low is favourable for it to deepen and affect populated places.

We’ll have more details in our Monday video.

Have a great, safe, weekend.
