Looking very active in the Tassy Sea according to the Blitz.
Any thunderstorms will affect western areas only.

Greylynn with 4mm, upper air is on the warm side this end of NZ for a good thunder chance, I prefer the look of this weekend for thunder chances with very cold upper level temps Saturday.

I agree with spwill, warmer temps aloft killed off that Tasman front.

Good news is the next cold system arrives western North Island Friday night. Will make a forecast closer to the event but storms expected at this stage.
