Low risk of an isolated thundershower tomorrow afternoon in the Waikato/BOP but is looking quite low due to the lack of daytime heating at this time of the year.

Yes, looking like a mild day tomorrow with dps about 15C. The upper trough will be moving away though.

There is a slight risk of something thundery end of the week in the north as a strong upper level system crosses.

Off topic but notice the ts over inland Queensland tonight. Slightly unseasonal.
