Parts of the country could be in for thunderstorms on Sunday ahead of a "major weather feature" hitting during the working week. JOHN BISSET/ Stuff Storms and hail could be on the way for Northland, Auckland, Canterbury and Otago (file photo). "There may be some isolated thunderstorms from about Ashburton down to north Otago this afternoon, with some hail possible," Best said. They were a "precursor" to a developing low pressure system over the Tasman sea, which would become "quite a major weather feature" on Tuesday and Wednesday, he said. "Especially if people are travelling around, they should look to see if the area is affected by those weather warnings or watches."
