expected to drift onto the south of the North Island during the day. A southeast flow continues to weaken over North
Island areas.

And now the forecast to midnight tonight:

NORTHLAND, AUCKLAND, COROMANDEL PENINSULA, BAY of PLENTY, ROTORUA,
WAIKATO, WAITOMO, TAUMARANUI, TARANAKI, TAIHAPE and TAUPO: A mainly
fine day ahead. Areas of cloud and remaining light showers clearing
this morning from the central high country and main eastern ranges.
South to southeast breezes.

WANGANUI and MANAWATU: Morning cloud and a few light showers about
the ranges gradually clearing to become fine. Southeast winds dying
out.

light showers persisting. South to southeast winds.

WELLINGTON: Light showers becoming confined to the eastern hills this
afternoon. Elsewhere fine spells increasing. Southerly winds slowly
dying out.

NELSON, BULLER, WESTLAND and FIORDLAND: Fine and frosty with light
winds in most areas. Cloud increasing after dark about the fiords
with drizzle patches developing.

MARLBOROUGH: Fine and frosty inland with light winds. About the coast
and sounds cloud and light drizzly showers continuing but fine
periods increasing. Southerly breezes there.

with drizzle areas persisting. Not much wind.

the South Island and about Southland with a few drizzle areas.
