Warm air this weekend at least, but yes, colder air mass dominates next week.

Perhaps afternoon thunder/hail possibilities next week given cold upper levels. South Island early week, North Island mid week.

Looks set to get pretty windy here in inland Canterbury, 140kmph gusts I'm picking tomorrow. Could be a few rolled pivots about

You would hope that farmers have learnt a thing or two about that now and place them down wind if possible, lots of warning for this one.

If the 850hpa temps stay around -4C for much of Tuesday and Wednesday and also the cloud cover is very thick then we might go close to the lowest max recorded recorded for November at the airport which is around 8.9C I believe...

NIWA's lowest Nov max-temp for Chch Aero since records began in 1954 is 8.2C recorded in 1967.

8.2C would be a stretch to beat but I think it could go less then 10C if there's enough cloud cover...

Good drop of rain this morning but gfs showing this will be our last in Auckland until next week.

Wednesday looking good for inland thunder/hail over the North Island given the strength of the cold upper level system and time of year. I am hoping the system has advanced enough onto the North Island by Wednesday afternoon to get the convection north of Taupo.

Interesting looking cloud forms around today. Lotsa Cu forms and cold cloud outforms.
Result of yesterday's unstable weather and today's weak convergencing.

Cup and show week looks horrible this year here in canterbury with more cold temps, hail, and possible thunder.
The show weekend holiday looks better with a good westerly system coming in but still looks cooler than a normal Nwer
