1pm weather map shows a fractured system over the South Island, with Canterbury currently in a gap between fronts. (hence the fact it's sunny here now) Looks like something could happen in South Canterbury/North Otago later this afternoon (Oamaru had a NE wind at 1pm), but the real southerly (with the winds and cold showers) probably shouldn't hit us until the evening.

Had some breif spits around 5pm from a shower that clipped us to the north otherwise pretty calm as.
Just had a big break in the mid level cloud with blue skies now and some Dark CU to the SW and also a dissapated cell to the NW.
Not sure what will happen now we will see.

Just looked at the Catsle Hill webcam - it's currently 4C there (at 700m asl), there's been 8.2mm today, and there's a fresh dusting of snow on the nearby mountains.Hourly radar shots this afternoon shower activity along the foothills and spreading further east in North Canterbury, but the plains staying clear.

Work up at 0430 this morning to heavy rain and hail, then again at 0730 to heavy rain and hail.
Yesterday Aaron and myself went for a drive out to oxford way, nothing really of interest to note. Encounted heavy rain, couple of nice bases but nothing of very much interest.
I think if the temp got up abit more nad the southerly eased back to allow the NE to push thru earlier we may have had something.

Certianly a wintry day today with the isolated heavy showers and hail going through in some places possibly might get a clap of thunder if it's really heavy in a few of them later on.
Just moderate to slightly heavy rain here about midnight last night and just had a light shower go through but no heavy rain or hail its quite dry here with a cold SE wind.
Cheers
