An already battered South is set to be hit by another front this weekend which could bring heavy snow to as low as 200 meters in places.

2 August 2019 – Weather experts warn the wintry blast will make for a wet, windy and cold weekend.

A MetService spokesman said there was “moderate confidence” of heavy snow falling above 200m in Fiordland, Southland and Clutha during Sunday.

The area covered by the severe weather outlook did not include Dunedin, but the MetService was predicting snow flurries to 300m in the city on Sunday.
