[tornado]

the rain hasnt been heavy. just moderatish as well. not much wind. a good amount of lightning and thunder though

That's because the storm activity is elevated.

It looks like Waikato has the best potential for thunder/hail today but Auckland in the frame later in the day.

nice if we do get another thunderstorm i will be happy i love thunderstorms. I got 20.32mm from this mornings thundery front, so if those isolated storms form in auckland then maybe i could get a bit more. I just love the sound of thunder.

[tornado]

things are starting to get intresting on the radar. we could get some hail soon maybe an isolated thunderstorm for auckland.

[tornado]

lightning strike to the west of auckland.

Storms are forming to the west of auckland.

i been looking at rader and another potiential thunderstorm is developing at the moment it looks as though it will take the same path as this mornings storm. been some lightning with it as well

[tornado]

storm hitting northland now and should hit auckland the next hour or two

[NZstorm]

Got woken by heavy precip around 2am and heard distant thunder.

Looks like we get into the wetter end of the deal with this low with longer outbreaks of precip possible from later in the day. An easterly develops in BOP which means a heavy rainfall for Coromandel region. Remaining unstable through to end of tomorrow.

Interesting to see that cell pop up on the radar north of Auckland within the last hour, a sign of unstable conditions I guess
