Decent looking precip on radar. Thunderstorms look isolated while showers more widespread.

yes, upper flow southerly. The thunder risk with this convection is limited but heavy showers should continue for a while.

Cloud tops looked quite warm and fibrousy, yet they some of still produced lightning :)

The Convergence line/ flanking line looked very nice merging north from the storms/showers.

Some towering cumulus showers to the south of here this evening along the sea breeze line but most of Auckland remained fine and dry.
