MetService has issued several Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, stretching from Canterbury to Otago.
Parts of the North Island are also in for some showers this afternoon, such as Northland, Coromandel, and Hawke's Bay.
MetService Meteorologist Andy Best says it'll be a dicey weekend.
He says there's already been lightning strikes to the west of Dunedin, and cloud is starting to develop across the North Island.
