Valid to: Midnight Monday 16 Dec 2019
Issued at: 8:03am Monday 16 Dec 2019
Unstable and humid northerlies affect central and northern New Zealand today, with a general low risk of thunderstorms over the North Island and upper South Island as depicted on the chart. The most unstable area, with afternoon and evening wind convergence, extends from western parts of Northland to Taranaki and northern Manawatu, and across to Taupo and inland Hawkes Bay. There is a moderate risk of thunderstorms in this area, which may produce localised heavy rain and hail, as well as a low risk of SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS producing localised downpours of 25 to 40mm/hr.
Elsewhere, no thunderstorms or significant convection is expected.

Yes, I thought I heard a faint rumble before, sounds like I did then. Blitz showing an isolated strike to my north. Radar closing in on the east coast bay beaches on the North Shore.
Strong updrafts and low hanging scud on these storms around here. Some places are getting huge downpours. Nothing to write home about here yet but I suspect we will have our turn this afternoon. Thunder in all directions at the moment.
One just sparked up north of us here in Swanson, thunder with some dark bases
Edit - now north, west, and south of us. Blew up quite quickly looking at the last couple of frames on the wx radar

Sad to see you never got thunderstorms in your neighbourhood today.
We should get heaps of thunderstorms on Friday, here.
Got my fingers, toes and arse crossed for a good storm before we head north for Christmas.

Yes. I noticed that too. Now the morning's one gone as well.
Maybe they are up dating their thunderstorm page?
A nice fancy one will do with lighting bolts showing where the most likely thunderstorms will occur?
