Update - I just looked outside...high cloud is advancing fast as is the mid level cloud as well...so bugger that I'm off to do other stuff...
Hmmm....let me see.
Westerlies slowly turning to the North west.
Wind increasing in general from 5-10 knots to 20 knots late today. Wind increasing with hieght. 35 knots at 10,000ft at 1pm.
Approaching front...so at some stage mositure will start turning up...usually some high cloud precedes a front but not much is forecast from the squiggly lines.
Squiggly lines suggest convection to 5-5500 ft later today if the forecast ground temps are correct. Forecast 21 degrees in Tga and 20 degrees in Taupo.
Probably a ridge/thermal/wave day. Expect wave later in the day...it will probably be well marked after 5pm. It will depend how far North the wind goes.
Would I be using up brownie points today??? Especially this close to Xmas?? Only if you have nothing better to do...
Task...the usual...Tauranga, struggle over the ridge, north somewhere like Tirohia (and if the swamp is working maybe FlaxMill), south as far as you can get...Tokoroa possibly, home. 250kms.
