The patch of clear blue skies and warm weather is not hanging around long as a front makes its way to Hawke's Bay this evening.
The period of fine weather is set to come back early next week but the weekend is forecast for scattered rain and a southerly change.
MetService meteorologist Claire Flynn said high cloud would thicken later tonight and northwesterly winds would strengthen as a front moved towards the bay.
"The front will move through the region on Saturday, which brings the scattered rain and southerly change. You will see a high of 18 degrees compared to 23 on Friday."
Sunday will see a few showers "hang around" and the southerlies will also continue to be prominent throughout Hawke's Bay.
