I heard that thunder too but cell is moving away to SE.
Looks like warm frontal rain spreading across Northland/Auckland tonight with severe gale force winds probable in exposed parts of Northland. Squally thunder potential in the far north also.

I was driving at Albany Heights / Lonely Track road at about 11:40 hours this morning and the wind was unbelievable, tree branches being ripped of trees, at one stage it almost looked like a inflow wind for a severe gale or possible tornado. the skies were dark grey and heavy rain.

Its like GFS has had a complete reversal on its 10 day model overnight. A series of Tasman lows has been completely replaced by predominately high pressure for the duration. Remarkable flip flip really
If those Tasman highs dominate the northern section and not to the south half we should continual to see more of these glorious spring like days

Not surprising re reports of Thunder, Good proportion of the upper atmospheric lift is moving through Auckland now, will start heading south later on into the evening.

We were hit by a massive squall in Corinthian Drive Albany just after midday, a PWS around 1km away recorded a 104 km/h gust at that time, it was phenomenal!

Not much happened at our worksite, drizzle, hardly any wind. Just arrived back in Titirangi, bit of drizzle, no wind.
In Albany, the same one or two showers , no wind. At this stage a bit of a non-event.
