A bit more rapidly developing convection to the SW
Looks like the convection is organized in a line going by radar.

Looks like the front is coming through now.

There has been a lot of Altocumulus castellanus here in the last hour or two, some of it quite tall with weak precip but no cumulus.

What front? according to the noon (1pm) map there was no front's anywhere
Edit:They're there on the 7pm map/chart

we got to 20C briefly.....a little pocket of warm air....we have missed alot of the rain..I see a better band of rain over the far north...i wonder if the front might move south again...

40mm of rain here for this event so far and its still raining heavily.

Maximum temps look seasonable this week for northern areas with 18-20C.

The low end of the week looks like a blast of wind and heavy rain but a fairly stable looking system so no thunderstorms.

whats the chances of some heavy showers developing for the upper NI today?
we are looking for some more rain...getting a bit on the dry side

Next lot of precip for Auckland will be Saturday morning. Should get a decent amount.

nearly 40cm of snow at Arthurs Pass village reported, much more higher up. Still snowing as at 8am.

Some elevated convection this evening to the NE. Elevated convection I find is quite fascinating

40mm rain for the event here, yesterday to now.
