We have an extended forecast for the long weekend taking a look at the wind and rainmakers brushing both ends of NZ - while high pressure dominates elsewhere.

We also take a look at the main highlights around Australia as easterlies bring in showers to the east and a cold front brushes Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart followed by low pressure.

Programming Note: No video on Good Friday or Easter Monday, Phil’s taking Tuesday off so our next video will be next Wednesday April 20th. For news, maps and detailed forecasts see our updates at both WeatherWatch.co.nz and RuralWeather.co.nz. See you next Wednesday!
