The situation
A FINE & MILD FRIDAY – late southerly change in the south
Good morning. It’s a clear start for most, with just some areas of low cloud and fog ‘pockets’ about the plains and coast. We do have some milder ‘pockets’, with northerly influence, while parts of Christchurch shiver on 0 degrees at 6:10am.
Our Friday will be mostly fine, with just variable high cloud developing. Milder north/n0r-westerlies push temperatures into the high teens, or early twenties.
During the evening a southerly change moves north, with areas of lower and middle level cloud; reaching Christchurch later tonight. At this stage we may see an isolated light shower south of Geraldine from late evening.
