Hawke Bay
Situation:
A weak front affects the South Island today, meanwhile a complex low pressure system approaches Northland from the subtropics and brings humid northeast winds to the North Island. On Wednesday, the low pressure system affects the whole country bringing rain to most places. A deep low centred east of central New Zealand directs a strong, cold southerly flow over the country through Thursday and Friday. The low is forecast to move away to the northeast of New Zealand on Saturday as a ridge of high pressure builds in from the west.
