A little while away, but first though we should see a passage of a weak trough on Monday/Tuesday bringing a few showers to some northern districts.
Then fine weather with warm northwesterlies tending northeast.

Quite a few storms firing off at the moment in the East of Australia, not sure if they can keep on chugging along though against that ridge of high pressure?
Maps tend to show a decaying HP system rather than an incoming low from the N'thn Tasman Seas, lowering risks of thunderstorms.

What do you think Steven, Brian or anyone?

Dunno... But it snowed on the top of the Tararuas last night... So it feels damn chilly after the last few weeks...

i remember one halloween must have been 20 years ago there was heaps and heaps of ligthning/electrical storms all around, in an unstable easterly flow..

Models starting to push this event onto Monday-Tuesday next week or not at all.

However! Heavy rain looks to set into Westland on Thursday/Friday this week bringing quite a deluge, flooding possible... this will be more to what they're used to.

I see the MetService have put out a 'moderate' risk of thunderstorms over Inland North Island tomorrow

alot of afternoon heat cloud build up here and north of here, today, and some showers developed henderson way this afterrnoon

Some light showers here to from build ups. Tomorrow might be more interesting.
