Getting some thunder, though it is pretty murky and embedded so no cloud features can be seen

Cheers,

Still raining here in central AK but looks like the weather will improve this afternoon as the front moves south.

Should be a few ts over central/lower NI this afternoon.

In for a day of heavy rain at long last! :P

Monday is also shaping up nicely for more heavy rain.

Can anyone else access the MetService sites?

A couple of Cb's have developed over Northland, near Whangarei.
Strikes on the tracker over the top of Northland are probably from those clouds in the South.

Starting to clear from the north-west, behind the murk to the north are some good looking cu - they are really boiling up quickly... just a shame it's so late in the day!

Directly north is a mature cb with anvil, no too sure how far away it is, over the Kaipara area is my guess.

Cheers,

Nice to see the sun out again.

Air looks a tad unstable over the central NI to upper SI. So isolated TS over the inland ranges in those regions. fairly stable elsewhere today.

Pretty much a fine day over Auckland now with 24C but some t/cu.
Can see a cb top to SE. Should be a few thunderstorms central North Island this afternoon.
