After a cold, wet week, fine weather is on the way for the weekend.

A high-pressure system will begin to set in, easing the cold southerly winds and bringing more pleasant weather for many.

However, it doesn't mean a warmer start to the weekend, as Saturday is likely to be a particularly cold morning.

A front will bring rain to western areas of the South Island and wind in explosed places, although not as much rain as during the week.

The front should move over the upper South Island and weaken late Sunday, followed by another ridge.

There is a moderate chance of warning amounts of rain in Fiordland on Saturday, and in Westland during late Saturday and Sunday.

The front could bring snow to the usual places about the alps and high country, but eastern areas will remain fine.
