Troughs on the low:
It’s almost like a spider spreading out its arms [arms out].
Easter Sunday, you’re putting the eggs in the garden with the bunny.
Auckland AM
Showers; shhhw, shhhw, [waves hand from side to side], they come through.
Christchurch AM
Friday’s a day where all the ducks at the duck pond [smile gesture] have a smile, if they could smile.
Wellington AM
That’s how it looks, like taking some blue paint and going, pfoom, like that [not quite a throwing gesture].
For Easter Sunday, when the bunny’s hopping round the garden, there still might be a few showers.
National PM
A pretty mean tropical low is working its way in. You can almost say it’s the big attack of the big red blob.
There's a picture of that one on Twitter.
Our rainfall, we could easily be seeing as much as two hundred to three hundred kilometres, erm, millimetres of rain. Spit it out.
We get the little spokes, like a bit of a mad octopus flailing its arms around [does so].
Going into Easter Sunday, the bunny’ll be hopping about, he’ll be saying [bounces], 'yeah, this is OK.'
Severe
You can imagine the list of watches and warnings is a bit like a laundry list.
Australia
It’s another day for the sandwiches [eating gesture] in the park, 29, even a trip to the beach.
Pacific
If you’re going in the next couple of days, sunglasses [sunglasses gesture], bucket and spade, you’re in pretty good shape.
Marine
You notice how we just lose a lot of colour, we go back to our purple, smooth. That means things are just going 'ahhh', just chilling out.
Auckland PM
Even on Easter Sunday, don’t be surprised, the Easter Bunny, he might be like this [bounces, umbrella gesture], bouncing about with a raincoat and an umbrella.
Farming Show
We kick the thing out the back door and the centre of it will sneak round the back of the garden.
Guessing that the following two TV bits belong here. Might be 24 hours out. Timezones.

Wet weather set to end just in time for Easter
The Easter Bunny will actually have sunshine too but he might have an umbrella in his hand.

Weather: Rain forecast for Easter
From the video:
You almost imagine Mother Nature and the Easter Bunny having a bit of a tussle right off the bat but they're gonna solve their problems.
By Saturday and Sunday we're kicking the low out the back door.
From the accompanying article:
"If you're peaking [sic] down the road to look for the Easter Bunny, I think he might already have his raincoat on."

Weather warning for Easter motorists
"It's going to have some fangs to it for sure," Corbett said.
"If folks are travelling on the roads it will be pretty unpleasant. If [holidaymakers] go up north they're going in a better direction. If they put all the kids in the back of the car and said right we're going at 3pm and they drive south they'll drive straight through the front," Corbett said.
Sun Live
Audio forecast! Yes, you can listen to what Dan had to say to their reporter over the phone.
Today's one of those, almost a sleep late kind of day.
