Looked at the Castle Hill webcam - no snow around the village area (about 700m asl), but fresh dusting visible on mountains through breaks above the cloud. Was 2.6C just after my earlier post, and 3.9C now and looks wet (9mm recorded there so far today), so snow could've been falling a few 100m higher.There's even a road snowfall warning for the Porters and Arthurs Passes.
Cold Outbreak behind a Low, 6th-9th

14C dewpoints, I would say a few brief downpours with the Front this evening.How much rain are you Aucklanders tipping on getting tonight?
All looks pretty disorganised out there heading onto the NI.
A wet spring down there in Chch considering are we are in a weak El NinoIt's unseasonably cold and wet (about 8C with persistent rain) in Chch this morning,

Overcast and rather cold today with persistant rain at times as Tich said and quite a rather cold NE wind. Rain has stopped since about 4pm but still overcast havn't checked rain gauge yet probly 10-12mm.
How are things looking for Canterbury thunderwise tomorrow night on models etc? I seen MS thunder outlook but they are going for a low risk I would have expected to see a better risk than that.
Especially with a clearance for much of the morning and a NE wind with forecast heavy showers and hail .
Cheers

One possible problem for ts down your way tomorrow Jason is low surface temperatures. Quite chilly low level air will keep max temps down. Met Service forecast temp for Ch tomorrow is just 13C although I believe it will get a bit higher than that.I seen MS thunder outlook but they are going for a low risk I would have expected to see a better risk than that.

i believe That we may get a thunderstorm because of just the fact it sounds like a pretty chilly flick in such a warm month as November is.
Yes 500MB TEMPS IS GOOD!! and the high for tomorrow should be higher then 13C i mean geez.
We'll see about tomorrow and what we get out of it.

Up to 17C in Chch with sunshine between clouds. If the wind has changed to northeasterly by the time the cold southerly change arrives this afernoon, and the sun is still shining, then chances of thunderstorm activity will be good. MetService has a moderate risk of thunder for Canterbury.
The wintry change looks to have already arrived in Southland this morning, with 3-5C temperatures at 10am with recent precipitation.

Northeasterly must've been just coastal (not reaching Rolleston), and has now turned northwesterly at Hillmorton. But MetService has upgraded the risk for Canterbury to high - looks like some thunderstorms have already developed in parts of the area. Sun's still shining in Chch.Not quite Tich. Has turned nor-west here.
