I can see that on the 6pm radar bit of heavyness in the area, obviously marking the cold front.
Been fresh cool NE all day here with scrappy high cloud, and about 5 spots of rain around 3pm

.
See what happens.

I'm hoping you're right on your initial prediction, there, Jase

The front is moving quite slowly but might pick up as it gets more into the Canterbury Plains.
Quite a steady rain band on the 7pm radar, worth keeping a wee eye on

Its looking more like stratiform rain now but the front should move through the CHCH area with a bit of a whomp - gusting 30 kts or so at first. But we can't give up on the convection yet!

nothing much happening here, had a dark cloud pass through at 7pm but other than that only a couple drops of rain doesn't look like much from this one.

Looks like it could be good here, depending on the path it takes but some good development by the looks.
