Unstable start to week
Might just start a new thread for todays weather.
Cold unstable air crossing the North Island today almost certainly means thunderstorms/hail developing inland as the day heats up.

wow!
and i had remarked to someone this morning,when a good squall line went over here (which had a very marked line too it), that the conditions looked ripe for a tornado somewhere (so it looks like their was enough instability further down the country to get one!)
thats the 2nd time this year i said to someone conditions are ripe and then someone gets one!
just tried to phone me sister near whakatane...but no one home, to see if i could get a first hand news, LOL
