The Waikato looks rainy tomorrow but I am hoping we can get enough sun Auckland northward for some convection.

Well so far nothing has happened apart from that brief storm yesterday. A little bit of rain every now and then but otherwise it's been purdy boring

torrential rain suddenly developed here now

I would have thought 'snow alley' would have been copping it by now!
Radar showing precip building quite nicely from the SE north of the Rangitata now.

Nr Sheffield.. torrential rain most of the day, no hint of any snow....

Heavy rain/some hail here in the last hour and 24mm recorded for the hr!
Ricky showing 17mm last hr.

that looks like it will hit us soon...
the low has developed just west of Auckland...as the models predicted...at the exit of that jet stream

So far not a drop of rain, this is beyond frustration now

Some heavy rain here at the moment, tiny hail as well.

Very poor forecasting all round Richard, clear and calm -4 here at lake benmore and starry all night. Forecast just to generic to be of any help for inland areas and the one who does forecast's for inland Canterbury is embarrassing when it comes to accuracy( not tony).

Convergence line is through here now and I have had 30mm this morning.

Will be interesting to see what can develop this afternoon due to heating enhancement. The midnight gfs has some instability back in the Waikato with that area looking good for some pulse cells this afternoon heading westward out to sea. Hoping that something will develop over the Auckland area again.

26mm of rain here overnight, still coming down fairly steadily

Starting get get a few spots of rain now

Looks like the snowline in mid-Canterbury is a few hundred metres higher the what the Metservice forecast too. Unusual they were going for some snow down to 200m when all the data just before the event was saying 400-500m

Gone past 30mm since 6pm last night here in town now

For mid-Canterbury they were 200-300m out, not one flake from my spy at 420m asl and they said none even up to 500m asl...

I see Greylynn had 16mm in an hour earlier, heavy showers over central Ak between 5.30am -7am

Bright conditions here currently, 13C.

A good thunderclap just now

Just got hit hard in Leamington and Cambridge. Largest hail I've seen here. First time I've worried it might be damaging the car.

Active CB drifting towards Auckland Airport from the west.........good ole flash/bang!

There's a nice CB developing to the NNW of here. Lovely sunny conditions for the last few hours.

Completely overcast with Thundershowers at times here, Hamilton is in the middle of a whole line moving to the west.

Getting hammered again. Hail and torrential rain. Going to cause some issues soon if this line does not move a little North or South.
