Tomorrow the low moves onto central and northern New Zealand while another low moves east past the Far South. On Thursday, a deep and extensive low moves slowly east over the North Island. The low is expected to lie slow moving just northeast of the North Island on Friday. Meanwhile, a ridge of high pressure gradually builds over the lower half of the South Island.
