SOME SNOW ABOVE 1000m?

Some cold upper air moves over the South Island on Wednesday through to Thursday, this may lead to some snow down to 1000m about the Main Divide. Amounts to this level will likely be minimal to non existent then higher up accumulations will be more noticeable.

A sign perhaps that summer is on it’s final legs, lets hope for an Indian summer with a bit more rain for the eastern South Island to come.

HIGH STARTS TO MOVE IN FROM FRIDAY

An anticyclone starts to sneak in from the southwest on Friday then spreading northwards over the country this weekend, with it comes some settled weather and cool mornings. The eastern North Island has lingering showers though in a south to southeasterly airflow.
