Wind and rain may disrupt Sunday's Anzac dawn services in southern and central parts of the country, the MetService says.
Ambassador Bob McDavitt said the outlook around New Zealand was for mainly cloudy mild weather, though umbrellas were likely to be needed for Anzac services in Westland, Southland and Otago.
"People between Kaitaia and Wanganui may well see much the same dull low cloud that has been around for the past few days.
"Northwest winds are forecast to strengthen during Sunday about the eastern South Island and around Wellington and Wairarapa."
Mr McDavitt said rain would be heaviest over Fiordland and Westland on Saturday morning, and would stall over the Southern Alps on Sunday and Monday.
