🌤🌦WEEKEND OF TWO HALVES – fine and mild today/colder, with southerlies, showers & hill snow on Sunday.

Good morning. Our Saturday is looking fine and milder in the east, with nor-westerly influence.

🌦Cooler southerlies cover the region on Sunday, with more widespread showers about inland areas during the afternoon. Any precipitation will fall as light snow about the high country (800m+).

❄️Our road snowfall warning remains in place, with light accumulations possible about our higher passes.

❄️🌧More widespread heavy rain, snow and cold southerlies remain on course for Tuesday/Wednesday and further snow related warnings may be issued on Sunday, or Monday. This front has more moisture and could bring up to a months rainfall in eastern areas.

🔎🌡Maps - temperature anomaly for Saturday and Sunday. Quite the contrast. ECMWF.
