The situation
A FEW SHOWERS IN THE EAST TODAY – MOSTLY BEFORE MIDDAY
Good morning. Our Thursday will be unsettled for most, with spill over rain affecting many eastern areas in the morning (mostly south of Christchurch), before easing back into the afternoon. Rain will be intense about the Main Divide & Canterbury Headwaters through the day and our heavy rain warning remains in place until 11pm tonight.
Check into your town page for specific and moderated details, there will be contrast across the region.
Unsettled weather continues on Friday, with late showers and rain developing in the north, before spreading south and lingering into Saturday, before we see improvements on Sunday. Once again, rainfall totals will remain light and ‘hit and miss’ in nature east of the foothills.
We see a little more high pressure influence next week and potentially a few colder southerly changes, with light rain and snow for the ranges.
