In detail
The forecaster's notes
Overnight the ridge pasture drops to about 1 °C, low enough for frost in the usual hollows by 02:00. Dawn starts clear, with the fog pooling at Point Brace burning off by 09:30.
The dam gauge has been steady near 3.42 m for a week. With no rain in the ledger before Saturday, the outflow stays at its autumn setting.
Wednesday is the day to watch: a warm front crosses the valley from the southwest and brings the first real cloud deck of the week. Nothing severe in it. Just the first proper grey.
