Period:

7hrs from 11pm Tue, 31 May - 6am Wed, 1 Jun
Area:

Northland, Auckland, Great Barrier Island, Coromandel Peninsula, Waikato, Waitomo, Bay of Plenty, Rotorua, Taranaki
Forecast:

An intense front with embedded thunderstorms is expected to move east across the upper North Island overnight Tuesday. There is a chance that some of these thunderstorms will be SEVERE with damaging wind gusts of more than 110 km/h. There is also a possibility of one or two localised damaging tornadoes. Wind gusts of this strength can cause some structural damage, including trees and power lines, and may make driving hazardous. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.

Nelson, Buller, Westland, Canterbury High Country, Fiordland
Forecast:

An airmass with rapidly moving thunderstorms is expected to affect the west of the South Island overnight Tuesday and during Wednesday. There is a risk of SEVERE thunderstorms bringing damaging wind gusts of more than 110 km/h and localised tornadoes. Wind gusts of this strength can cause some structural damage, including trees and power lines, and may make driving hazardous. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.

An unexpected (was suppossed to have already cleared) band of spillover rain in Chch this morning. Felt somewhat heavy for a time, but I don't think much fell (only 2mm at Hillmorton)
