Central Otago’s will experience a blustery Friday with warm northerly winds this weekend.

MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris said a frontal system was making its way up the West Coast on Friday.

The main effect for Central Otago is the strong, warm northerly winds but the risk of a shower is there.

“A strong wind watch is in force between 2pm Friday and 3am Saturday.”

 Central Otago’s will experience a blustery Friday with warm northerly winds this weekend.

 “Once the front passes by the winds turn around to the south, but Saturday still manages temperatures around the mid-twenties with partly cloudy skies.

 “Sunday and Monday look fine with light winds with some showers possible on Tuesday,” he said.
