I don't think anything much is going to hit the Waikato unless its the west coast out by Raglan and Kawhia!

Gonna get hit with a frost tomorrow. But clouds will come in so not sure when that will happen - before sunrise?

Auckland may get something as it drifts northeast...

Just rained here, wasn't too heavy though. Temp dropped from 15 to 11.
Wait until the warmer weather and then we should see some nice convective activity :P

Looks like its all cleared up now just like metservice forecast =D> (they're only right half the time!)
Could get quite cold tonight, but probably not cold enough for frost here.

Here are a few shots from this afternoon around 2pm which look northwest. :)

Very welcoming to see land-based convection/ T/Cu develop to Cb.
