As we come off a warm and dry start to fall, temperatures are finally starting to drop into seasonable conditions as we kick off October.

Still seeing a lack of moisture and dry weather is dominating the rest of the week. Winds however remain elevated for the start of the week seeing a strong westerly breeze across the Northland.

Highs for today will be in the 60s as the cloud coverage builds in the afternoon and winds start to weaken overnight.

Skies will clear tomorrow, and temperatures will rise again into the upper 60s and low 70s as the wind shifts to the south. But the cool air will be back for the end of the week with the possibility of frost Friday morning.

The next chance for precipitation is Saturday evening as some showers and isolated thunderstorms are likely.
