If so will be out to shore, but I'm not expecting anything here locally.Chris W wrote: ↑Tue 10/04/2018 21:43 Chch and North Canterbury coastline on for a moderate storm risk all day tomorrow now, with the afternoon risk going all the way up to Gisborne.

Shame it is not this evening.
Would be nice to see a light show out to the east

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
Frequent hail showers since about 4pm here. Still coming in thick and fast. Been waiting for a bang of thunder as some stones have been up to 10mm in diameter today so good pea size.NZ Thunderstorm Soc wrote: ↑Tue 10/04/2018 20:30Yes. your right on this. Much of the stuff moves up through the Canterbury Bight and onto land west to east and south of ChCh. WM would be getting a bit of more substantial stuff from this weather than here.

Temps now near 0C in central NI, with precipitation too. Snow level could be lower than 700m forecast. Same for Remutaka Hill summit.

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
Will be interesting to see how much damage is across Auckland at daybreak. Standard tree damage but there was some quite destructive gusts for a 2 hour period last night. Bottomed here around 990.9, had a gust of 65 km/h which is significant for my position with a westerly. Not surprised the bridge got 133 km/h.
Nice SW stream coming off the 20c Tasman now, air temp 9c here. Wet morning coming up.

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
We had thunder here in Rakaia around 5am this morning. Currently a good strong southerly and having a look at the metservice just now it seems these 35 to 40 km/h winds will continue throughtout the daylight hours. Will certainly make driving the bus interesting.
Rakaia, 118asl.

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
Only maxed at 74km/h on my station. Pretty high for a NW for my location. Was surprised it didn't go above that when it turned SW as that is a stronger direction here.

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
Minor tree damage around here however there are a couple of streets blocked by fallen trees. We don't get much strong wind here and last night was the strongest wind I have experienced in Auckland. The main wind storm only lasted a couple of hours

My Silverdale Spy reports a poplar tree down that just missed the house, and no power last night or this morning.

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
I see there are now questions in media about why there was no adequate warning
Even though the Metservice warning for 120 km/h gusts was issued well in advance (which was quite accurate since most areas of Auckland would not have exceeded this)

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
A relatively chilly 7.2C here this morn. Lost power for a little while last night, although parts of Waiheke were still without power this morn. Waiheke ferries were cancelled after 8pm last night and I see Akld Aero was also closed overnight due to debris on the runway.
Highest town/city gusts yesterday according to MS…

Re: Low pressure sequence April 10 - 14
And fair enough to have criticism, but media should be critical of themselves, not forcasters. The metservice clearly had warnings in place, but they can only do so much. They rely on the media to spread the word and it seems that this storm wasn't a high priority for the media. They tell us about cyclones 2 weeks in advance, yet this storm barely rated a mention. Maybe because it wasn't a cyclone, is wasn't going to generate the clickbait?
Edit for understanding

Just heard a couple of rumbles of thunder from the NW of here after a heavy shower. Lightning was just a flash in the cloud.

Still showery at times in Chch this morning; some hail earlier. Snow on Mt Herbert.
I've seen photos of exceptionally early snow on Mt Pirongia and Tarawera this morning.
