Hawke's Bay residents will need extra blankets this weekend with particularly cold overnight temperatures.
A high pressure system with southwesterly flows will bring fine but cold weather to the region.
MetService meteorologist Sarah Haddon said showers that have been hanging around Hawke's Bay over the last few days had slowly eased and were expected to die out today due to a low pressure system moving away.
This meant that most of the southern parts of the region experienced sun yesterday, she said.
There will still be a little bit of cloud, rain and wind off the coast but this would improve by the end of the weekend.
