Unfortunately, no cap to speak of, so unless we get an ungodly amount of daytime heating, it probably wont amount to more than a few showers.

Yes, stronger towering Cu this afternoon and some heavy looking showers around now (probably sea breeze convergence)

Re: Another cape'y day
Amended discussion: A sea breeze convergence line has formed from Northland through Auckland and down into northern Waikato. Radar imagery shows several slow moving heavy showers along this line. There is a low risk that one or two of these showers may develop into a thunderstorm this afternoon from continued daytime heating and low level convergence. Due to the slow moving nature of this line, rainfall rates of 10-20mm/hr are possible.
