Wellington was looking sunny today and tomorrow morning before showers were forecast to come through in the afternoon. By Tess NicholAfter heavy rain up north last night, sunshine followed by afternoon showers are in store for many parts of the country this weekend. "We're stuck in this southwesterly flow for the next few days," said MetService meteorologist Emma Blades. The southwesterly meant conditions would be "chilly but sunny" with highs of around 13C for Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Heavy showers and lightning in parts of Auckland, Northland and the Waikato last night made way for lighter rain this morning as a southwesterly flow makes its way across both islands.
