first line of heavy rain moved through here now
brief change to the NW, back to NE now
7mm of rain

the next line of CB's could be more interesting later this arvo

this line was a bit of a fizzer for northland (was good at first but then got disorganised)

Yeah it was a bit of a fizzer, though we did get torrential rain here about half an hour ago, probably from a dead/dying thunderstorm. Cant wait for later. ;)

a better looking cb line over northland now....starts off narrow and then gets wide as you go south....classic look to it :)

tops being blown off nicely on that line to the N and now NE of northland....maybe here in the auckland area we dont have enough upper level wind

update: big heavy rain area moving onto auckland city area from the NW now, and intensifying...
