    "text" : "Updated at 1:22pm to extend the low risk area south to North Otago and Dunedin.\n\nThe front which brought heavy rain to the west of the South Island on Tuesday moves north onto the lower North Island this afternoon to lie over the central North Island at night.  This front is likely to bring a period of heavy rain to the northern South Island and southern/western North Island during this time - see latest Severe Weather Watch and Warning for more detail.  \n\nAlthough thunderstorms are considered unlikely with the front as it passes over the northern South Island this morning, and southern North Island in the afternoon, there is a low risk of a few embedded thunderstorms with the front about Taranaki and coastal Waitomo from this afternoon.  If any thunderstorms do occur, they will boost local rainfall rates.\n\nA southerly change is expected to affect Canterbury from about the Banks Peninsula southwards and also North Otago and Dunedin this afternoon. A few showers may form on this change and there is a low risk that one or two of them may be thundery as indicated on the chart.\n\nNo other thunderstorms or significant convection expected elsewhere over New Zealand during this period.",
