Temperatures would sit around 20C for the upper North Island. Auckland and Whangārei can expect a high of 21C.
Things are looking a little chillier at the bottom of the island. A high of 17C is forecast in Wellington and a high of 19C in Palmerston North.
Further south, holidaymakers are more likely to be enjoying their long weekend on the couch with some Easter treats.
Much of the South Island can expect wet weather for a majority of the day, as a front moves up the island from this afternoon.
Invercargill and Queenstown are in for consistent showers throughout the day, while Christchurch will be hit by some afternoon rain.
The front is expected to sweep up across the North Island overnight and bring gloomy weather with it.
"That means most places will see some cloud and rain developing on Sunday," Vuksa said.
"We are expecting rain, mostly in the west, in places like Wellington, Manawatu, Taranaki.
"Throughout the afternoon that rain will spread to Waitomo and Waikato."
By late afternoon, spots further north like the Bay of Plenty, Auckland and the Northland region can expect showers and a shroud of cloud.
The wet weather is expected to continue into Monday for much of the North Island.
"On Monday most places will see rain,"Vuksa said,
"Some will be heavy, at times. That rain should ease by evening."
