Most Kiwis should be able to enjoy mainly fine weather this long weekend, but New Zealanders in parts of the South Island will need to be weary as snow, wind and rain is on the way for some.
MetService said a cold front is moving across the lower South Island on Sunday afternoon, which will be followed by a period of southwest gales.
This has seen a strong wind watch issued for Dunedin and Coastal Southland, Stewart Island and Clutha from Sunday afternoon.
A road snowfall warning has also been issued for some of New Zealand's iconic roads in the South Island.
MetService issued the warning for Crown Range Road from 10pm on Sunday until 9am on Monday and Milford Road (SH94) from 10pm Sunday until 6am on Monday.
MetService said these roads could see a few snow showers, which may affect the road on Sunday evening and before dawn on Monday.
The forecaster said these roads should expect 1 to 3cm of snow to settle above 800 metres.
MetService told Newshub the North Island will see some isolated showers or patchy drizzle for most before clearing on Sunday afternoon.
While in the South Island, the forecaster said they will see rain developing in the south with snow to 800 metres, and spreading up the west coast, but otherwise, it will be fine with increasing high cloud.
Monday will be a mixed bag of weather for the North Island, with showers developing for the east coast, with a few more elsewhere.
But MetService said most of these showers will clear out in the afternoon and become fine.
The South Island will see showers for most places before clearing and becoming mainly fine.
For Kiwis looking ahead to Anzac Day, MetService said it will be mainly fine in the North Island, apart from a few isolated showers northwest of Kapiti.
The South Island will see some showers develop, which will spread up the West Coast, but otherwise, it will be partly cloudy.
