Ms Flynn said the north-westerly winds would pick up on Friday as a front moves over the South Island but she expected these to die out by Saturday night.
"Friday through to Sunday should be hot as the front that arrives down south doesn't make it to Hawke's Bay, it only gives you those north-westerly winds."
Hawke's Bay Winegrowers vice chairman Xan Harding was thrilled to hear that some dry settled weather was back in the Bay.
He was one of few who didn't want the rain and said the period of rain last week came just early enough so it didn't cause to much trouble or damage to the grapes.
"We much prefer this hot and dry weather so if it could stay like this until May without any rain we would be happy."
He said if a large amount did fall close to harvest it would make everything much more challenging for the growers.
Mr Harding said if this settled weather continued they would be in for an excellent vintage.
"The vines are drying out to how they were sitting before which is great for us. If any rain does come we would like it to be moderate rain that moves quickly."
A few of the wineries have started harvesting already with the low alcohol segment wines but most are still two or three weeks away from the main harvest.
"Wineries will soon start with chardonnay and pinot noir so this good settled weather will be fantastic."
