Aucklanders hoping to kick off their first weekend of alert level 1 with a day in the sunshine are going to have to wait.
Metservice predicts a day of cloud and occasional drizzle and northeasterlies in the City of Sails.
However, while it's going to be a grey day, itwill be a relatively warm one, with a high of 18C and a low of 13C.
"I guess another way of looking at it is there's no heavy rain on the cards of Auckland for quite a while," Metservice meteorologist Tom Adams says.
While there is rain on the cards for parts of Auckland today, it's "fractions of a millimetre".
"There is going to be some patchy drizzle around for a few days, it is going to be quite cloudy. No one is going to be out there sunbathing today, but it shouldn't stop people getting out and about."
The sun is expected to make more of an appearance on Sunday in Auckland, but some fine spells and odd showers in the east from the afternoon are on the cards, Metservice predicts.
"By Sunday afternoon there should be some good fine breaks [in the cloud] around."
