Re: Thunder chances Saturday 13th September
Saw a couple of flights standing off in holding patterns that were inbound to Auckland, and now changing over to the eastern approach.
Looks like some more cbs off to the northwest

Re: Thunder chances Saturday 13th September
I'm not sure if this post belongs here or in General September Weather: the well-defined system rotating and centred off Northland/Auckland on rain-radar at present is fascinating to see.

Re: Thunder chances Saturday 13th September
Not one of the better days here yesterday, but I see Blitzortung recorded a few strikes around the Manukua Harbour area about a hour or two before sunrise this morn.

Re: Thunder chances Saturday 13th September
Yesterday ended up a bust due to lack of heating.
Interestingly northern New South Wales had a similar set up yesterday and got widespread thunderstorms.
The 500mb temp there -21C but surface temp was 23C, dp 14C.
Waikato 500mb -21C but surface temp just 17C, dp14C.

Re: Thunder chances Saturday 13th September
yes, that convergence line looked good. I saw what looked to be a persistent lowered inflow base too. But thunder activity was weak.Manukau heads obs wrote:we had got a few claps of thunder and some great looking cloud bases and torrential rain at times
There was a powerful upper level system crossing the upper North Island, we should have got much better lightning. The missing ingredient was heating/instability.
