The Situation: A large slow-moving high over the mid Tasman Sea
extends a ridge over much of New Zealand. A weak frontal zone
over the South Island is moving northeast and should lie near

colder air is expected to approach the far south of the country
late tonight.

TAUPO, WAIKATO, WAITOMO, TAUMARANUI, TARANAKI, TAIHAPE, WANGANUI
MANAWATU: Fine apart from cloudy periods. Some fog and mist likely
in many places this morning. West to southwest breezes.
