Thanks for the report Macca. :)

That front moving in overnight could be the site for some cb development.
Not a lot happening on the 1800 NZST satellite though.

John, the upper looked a tad unstable over the South Island today. The 500hpa temperature is -29C which is very cold. Met Service were going for heavy showers/hail in Otago, which didn't happen as there is nothing to lift the air.
