I hope they don't arrive.
Auckland gets too many thunderstorms as compared to other main cities.

Models continue to show ample moisture feeding down the atmospheric river before the front tomorrow afternoon. Lots of warm moist air, a prefrontal trough and a sharp edged cold front always makes the day interesting

Re: Possible upper North Island thunderstorms - Dec 3
Some afternoon downpours is the best chance. I haven't had much luck this year, so hoping for a freak 20mm this afternoon on the convergence

Re: Possible upper North Island thunderstorms - Dec 3
its all going to slide down the coast by the looks
I did say that its hard for auckland to get decent rain out a tasman front at this time of year (but it can still happen)

Re: Possible upper North Island thunderstorms - Dec 3
It was nice to see a good clearance this afternoon to blue skies. The set up next Sunday/Monday looking promising at this stage.

Estimate there were some gusts to 80 or 90 km/hr with the front - which is high for inland Waikato. I had a bit of cleaning up to do around the garden and have heard from others a similar story.
