This low is right over the manukau harbour!
Barometer now 984hpa, wind SE here and temperature has warmed up (11oC), but grey lyn, in auckland, has a NNW, i.e the low is right over the manukau harbour, or there abouts (and their barometer is starting to rise now), and its a W wind at waipu in norhtland (but where the temperature is still cold at 9.8oC)
so it did deepen right down to 984
(which is the lowest reading i have had here for a while)

I'm roughly 50km north of you, I was at 986mb at 6am. The current picture at http://www.marine.csiro.au/~lband/weather/NZ27809.gif looks pretty impressive!

Hamilton has a NNE so it must be NW of Hamilton and the low just off the west coast

Jim Hickey TV1 reported thunder from Waikato.
Interesting to see some land based Tstorms developing in August.
This is more typical of late spring/summer. Todays cb's though were short lived pop-ups late pm. A few fibrous tops over AK to.
May see a repeat of this activity tomorrow afternoon. Have to wait and see just how much cloud and wind is around.
Notice a front over Northland all day on radar with heavy bursts in it.
Still there this evening. A few cb's look to be within it.

On One News Weather Jim Hickey said there were Thunderstorms in the Waikato today so I second your statement Brian on there being Cb's in the Waikato. The NOAA Sat pic (2:30pm, or there abouts) on the landcare research site looks as if the Cb's must of been developing about then.
I just posted this and You bet me to it Steven (NZstorm), so I quickly edited this to put this little message in.

Just went to Wanganui this afternoon and saw the cbs which towered up and had shear at the top furthur towards east of Hamilton at 2.30 at the Bombays and drove straight into them at Te Kowhai at 3.30pm and the sky went a strange black and was forked lightening to with heavy rain it cleared after that to "lee type cloud" from the SE which got stronger furthur south
