Hawke's Bay will enjoy a warmer than average start to the weekend before some showers cool things off a little.
MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris said Saturday will be the day to get out and about before the weather changes on Sunday.
"Rain before dawn [early Sunday], which is not so much of an issue, but what happens later in the day is that the northwesterlies will ease off and you will have a strong southwest change in the afternoon which could bring showers to the region."
Ferris said it would be about 18C around Napier and Hastings on Saturday before dropping to about 13C or 14C when the southwesterlies come on Sunday.
