Weather alert for Northland: Risk of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms
Heavy rain in April caused slips that twice closed SH1 over Mangamuka Gorge, south of Kaitāia. Now Northlanders are being urged to prepare for heavy rain again. Stormy weather is on the way tonight for Te Tai Tokerau, with Civil Defence Northland urging people to drive with extra care and stay up-to-date with forecasts. MetService NZ has issued two alerts for Northland – a Heavy Rain Watch and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch – from 5pm on Monday to around 6am Tuesday. The severe weather is part of a front expected to bring rain and thunderstorms to western parts of the North Island, from Taranaki northwards. The Heavy Rain Watch for Northland warns of periods of heavy rain with possible downpours. There is a moderate chance of this upgrading to an orange Heavy Rain Warning. The Severe Thunderstorm Watch warns of possible localised downpours, with rainfall rates of 25mm/h to 40mm/h.

SEE IT: Storms drop huge hail chunks, kick up strong winds
(WJW) — Thunderstorms pounded Northeast Ohio on Thursday afternoon, pouring rain and dropping quarter-sized hail along with zooming winds. FOX 8 viewers sent in photos of the icy precipitation in their neck of the woods: Get the latest forecast here A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has expired in the area. Wind gusts up to 60 mph were expected. Get the latest weather alerts here Those winds knocked over Sarah Mulhall's basketball hoop and dropped pebble-sized hail in her Northfield yard, before the sun pushed through the dark storm clouds on Thursday afternoon. Another viewer named John scooped up even larger hailstones, about 1 inch across, he said, from his yard in South Euclid. Viewer Alli Fittipaldo sent in a photo of a hail piece that took up half her palm in Highland Heights. She told FOX 8 the hail came down around 3:20 p.m. Part of Northeast Ohio remains under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 7 p.m. The weather has also led to thousands of power outages across the region.

Showers and storms stick around
Showers and storms this morning are lining up with a cold front. Some will be strong to severe to start the day. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be in effect until 10am for southern portions of the area. Damaging wind gusts and large hail are the main threats. With a constant flow of moisture into the southeast corner of the area expected, this has prompted a Flood Watch for Kay County in Oklahoma and Chautauqua County. It will be in effect until 7am Thursday. Even after the Severe Thunderstorm Watch expires there will still be some showers and storms that impact areas around and east of the Kansas Turnpike. The front will make a northerly push back into the Sunflower State by tomorrow, keeping skies unsettled into Wednesday. We will once again need to keep an eye on the Southeast corner of the area Wednesday. This is where an isolated strong to severe storm will be possible. Some new spotty storms will develop late in the day farther west. Shower and storm coverage will remain spotty through Thursday. So far, severe weather is not expected on Thursday. Temperatures turn noticeably cooler today now that most of us are behind the cold front. We will be quick to return to the 70s and that is where we will stay through the rest of the week. Friday is not looking as active but showers and storms will be around over the weekend.
