Area Description:
Bream Head to Cape Colville, Hauraki Gulf, Waitematā Harbour, Manukau Harbour
Situation:
A series of fronts embedded in a large area of low pressure move slowly across the country during Boxing day. Saturday brings a weakening northwesterly flow over New Zealand as a front moves away from the North Island and a weak ridge builds. On Sunday, a ridge covers the South Island, while a broad trough of low pressure approaches the North Island from the north. On Monday, the ridge remains over the South Island, but a low to the north of the country may deepen significantly and move onto the North Island, with a strong southeasterly flow building over the lower and central North Island. The low then moves just to the east of the North Island and remains there throughout Tuesday.
