the concergenece line developed here on the west coast....and then moved NE...i watched a nice ribbon/funnel cloud at one stage....(no camera on me at the time) and there was heavy drops too just down the road too...so some good low/mid level instability there today :)

I was working out at Coatesville and the unexpected NE breeze this morning made me suspicious showers would develop. Weather was nice untill about 2pm. NZWP 0000Z sounding indicates Isolated cb tops 4500m.

Yes, looks like we are in for a very unsettled weekend in Auckland/Waikato with cool temps.
