Situation
A disturbed northwest flow affects the country. An active, slow moving front lies in the vicinity of Cook Strait, then moves across the North Island later today and early Monday as a ridge builds over the country from the west. The ridge retreats to central New Zealand on Wednesday as a weak front moves over the lower South Island, and a complex low approaches the North Island.
