Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
The Met Service said rain will ease to showers this afternoon. They had better be right.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Looks like we are getting the most rain from this system.
Been chucking it down here since the early hours of this morning.
Street and front lawn flooded again. 70mm to 1pm, today. Another 30mm to go according to MS.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
This is the second warm advective snow occurence this month in the South Island. Snow level in models looks to be 900m or there abouts and that is backed up by the obs.
Tropical air over the north of the country today. Both Kaitaia and kerikeri have a dewpoint of 19C.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Looks like the rain is clearing here already? Which is a surprise. Winds starting to get a little gusty now, up to 50kmh here currently.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Heavy rain over the last 45 minutes between Laingholm and Titirangi. It is clearing now. Just been unblocking/removing debris from some Council storm water drains pits which were covered with leaves.
It does look very wet for the Coromandel on the radar.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Concerning situation developing in South Canterbury, snow is falling in Tekapo with much more moisture to come yet. Can't see it warming up too much either.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
The cut off low off the upper NI is virtually stationery with flow on affects on numerous fronts across NZ. Very hard to read the next moves and models are having a tough time pin pointing rainfall intensity. MS extending the south Canterbury warning to 140 to 160mm for the event with the atmospheric gridlock.
Here, the baro is 1003.3 and steady, 16mm. Had a gust of around 80 km/h on my hand held at 1pm nearby. I'm sheltered by a ridge from big northerlies, so have only clocked a 45 km/h on the PWS.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Yes, think the models struggled with this one, certainly was not expected to be a mainly dry afternoon/evening here. I don't see where an extra 60-80mm from 2pm to 11pm will come from (per the updated Metservice warning).

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Metservice now also predicting more rain tomorrow and another burst tomorrow evening for South Canterbury. With snow falling in Tekapo and not predicted to get much warmer tonight (?) could be a suprise fall for them.Cyclone Tracy wrote: ↑Sat 28/04/2018 16:00 The cut off low off the upper NI is virtually stationery with flow on affects on numerous fronts across NZ.

The Met Service predicted easing to showers for this afternoon. Guess what, it hasn't. It is still raining. The Met Service got it wrong

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Went into Timaru today.
Lots of water lying around especially here in Geraldine.
We have had over 100mm here so far here and more is likely to fall.The street was flooded but now has drained away. The Waihi river was bank to bank but other rivers towards Timaru weren't as flowy as what the Waihi was.
Interesting to see how much we get out of this event?

Looking like another batch of cb developing just east of Northland. Something to watch for this evening overnight/morning. Possible thunder coming our way.
