Thick fog has blanketed parts of Auckland this morning and the rain is holding off – for now.   The latest 9am rain radars do show a small area of patchy rain or showers moving down Northland between the Bay of Islands and Helensville. 

Those showers will move into Auckland this morning.

But so far the rain radar shows no heavy rain nearby.  It’s likely the heaviest rain will arrive tonight and early Wednesday morning for those in the north.

The complication behind the predictions is due to the movement of the low – which moved fairly fast across the Tasman Sea but has now stalled, meaning the fronts have stalled too.

WeatherWatch.co.nz will keep you posted as the day progresses – and on a side note, Southland again wakes to another stunning morning and a 6 degrees frost!
