Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Have you noticed the Met Service have not updated the forecast for tomorrow or subsequent days? Are they being lazy or something?

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
The overnight low here was a balmy 18C, sunny spells today should give us a warm day with a few heavy showers moving in this afternoon.
A line thunderstorm activity showing up currently across Coromadel/BOP, missed the weather action here so far.
Wanaka has had 46mm from the event

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Started off slowly about 3pm here, got heavy around 9pm last night and again at about 4.30am with some occasional very loud thunder from intracloud lightning as far as I could tell. Only about 70mm thus far.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
The eastern side of coromandel peninsula is taking a pasting right now. That’s an intense trough, especially to the north.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Rotorua Police have asked people to avoid all travel in their patch. At least one of their cars has been abandoned stalled in rising floodwaters apparently. Serious flooding around various areas has been reported.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
....and we thought we had it quite bad here in South Canterbury with lots of flooding, a bridge washout near Geraldine. Lots of weather related accidents. 165mm so far here for the event but it looks as though it may ease up soon as it is much brighter looking towards the north.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
The mothership low in the Tasman has been virtually stationery for the last 6 hours assisting it’s water bombing missions on parts of the North and South Islands. Serious flooding now in certain areas already mentioned. The low is maybe inching NE slightly again around 994 hPa. A heavy band of showers off the west coast of Northland is wrapping around and heading SE now near that next stationery front. The good old mid latitude cut off low has stumped models and forecasters every day for the last 5 days
Currently here it is 21c, 18c DP, baro 1000.8 and steady. Only 26mm so far but it could have easily been a 100mm more if the low had of stalled more west.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
Hope so. It's a bit saturated around here. Still raining. Wonder if we will crack the 200mm mark?

Looking at airport data, Whangarei was the warmest today on 23C and Wanaka the coldest on 8C.
Central Otago has decended in winter now.

Re: Front with multiple lows April 27 to April 30
I guess a lot of water will be coming off Mt Ngongotaha and the Mamakus.

How good does the rain radar look right now with the twin lows over the NI.
