Canterbury’s alpine passes could see 10-20cm of snow, impacting key highways like SH73 and SH7, while strong southerly winds threaten Coastal Otago, Southland, Fiordland, and Stewart Island. Snow may even reach 200m on Saturday, with SH94 near Milford Sound also at risk. The NZTA warns drivers to check conditions, pack warm gear, and drive cautiously if on the road—slow down, space out, and stay visible.
