Webcams in central NI and Napier showed it pretty wet this morning, not sure about thunderstorms. (but a little snow or hail visible on ground at Desert Road summit early this morning, melted later)

Sea breeze front seems to be on the Kaimais atm, 5 PM to 6PM is when a defined line of convergence should come in here.
