Quite a decent upper trough crossing the North Island today. Scattered showers/thunderstorm expected to develop. Isolated heavy falls and small hail. The more DHT the better!
500mb chart for midday.

Pretty uninteresting here so far, just some light showers since just before midday. Feeling cooler on 19C.

Todays midday observed sounding from Whenuapai. Indicates some instability to 9km. Some daytime heating would have produced CAPE.
Currently lightning over Waitomo.
