The North Island will get increasingly cloudy as the weekend progresses with rain forecast to arrive late Saturday for the lower North Island.
The rain should arrive at Northland, Auckland, the Coromandel Peninsula and the Bay of Plenty late Sunday, MetService forecaster Geoff Sanders said.
Mr Sanders said the east of the North Island could have long, reasonably fine spells this weekend, with highs in the low 20s expected.
"Gisborne and Hawkes Bay are the places to be this Easter Weekend," he said."
Gisborne is the place to be this long Easter weekend!
It should come as no surprise that Gisborne being the first city in the world to greet the sun each day is one of the hot-spots to be this long Easter weekend according to the MetService.
