There will be some convergence (onshore E) mid Canterbury to about Oamaru but the moisture looks too weak.

Fresh to strong, south to southeasterly breeze has risen here over the last fifteen minutes; some ragged grey cloud being driven across Mt Peel; some white and rather bubbly clouds to the north-east.
Temp. was a very pleasant 21.1 but will fall away now.

Never really looked good for storms in this area anyway with the Strong Northwesterly before the change, Gone Southerly here now with low cloud moving in from the east.

Gone southerly here now with no change in the appearance of the sky. Might be interesting overnight with the real southerly coming through. May get a clap :?:
