A number of big events have been planned for the weekend against a backdrop of weather warnings. Cyclone Oma's expected to pass by New Zealand over Saturday and Sunday bringing with it heavy rain, winds and storm surges. There's also predicted to be several cold fronts coming in from the south which will see temperatures plummet. Weather Watch's Philip Duncan talks about what's hit and where as well as how long the cold wet snap's expected to last.
