Metservice going all out on that latest Thunderstorm outlook that Richard mentioned before, looking more and more promising here with bright sunshine, if we can get up to 17-18C before the change rips through we could be in for a goodie

Am I allowed to say 'going all out' going by tonorrow's thunderstorm forecast?

Yup it loos pretty good Bradley. 4pm 500mb temp -25 upper jet 50 knts good for severe hail and good moisture aswel. And k index of 30 over timaru area.some good numbers there

Just come back from Geraldine, after being down there since Tuesday.
Nothing much to report for yesterday, with the southerly change coming through in the morning with low cloud and some rain. 7mm recorded. Cleared up in the afternoon with some threating looking clouds toward the MT. Peel area and some Cu congestus forms to the north but nothing to get excited about.
Cold night, I had the fire going down there.

Can see a separate thread needed for tomorrow storm forecast.
