Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
My friends in West Coast Civil Defence are planning on serious impacts.
The past week has already caused long term impacts and this on top will be hard to swallow. Looks like widespread wind and rain for many of us this weekend
Hopefully it does what cyclones do often and doesn't linger

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
My in laws are due to cross Cook Strait on the ferry Monday night to head to Tauranga. Still a few days out yet but could be an interesting trip.

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
I don't think anywhere in NZ except the deep south is going to escape the impact of this one

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
if the TC ends up crossing the Waitomo area, like forecasted, then we will get severe gale westerly winds here like a real bad winter/spring storm, but it will be hot and humid!

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
Its starting to look like Taranaki is the place to watch out for the most

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
12Z plots continue to show varied outcomes.
EC has about 25% chance of a passage across the central NI, 25% of a death in the southern eastern-Tasman, and near 50% of a slow decay sitting off the NI west coast between Taranaki and Auckland. The EC operational run weakens the core rapidly over Sunday and has it pass northeastwards over the south Auckland or northern Waikato during Monday. While the area impacted by this path and decay would be much smaller than seen on Sunday, it could mean 48hrs plus of strong to gale winds for that particular location. GFS is very similar, but with a wider spread across the North Island, including several runs taking the centre across the Auckland/Waikato area and out into the Bay of Plenty, similar to the EC. The Canadian still sees some potential for an eastern Tasman merry-go-round but seems to be favouring a passage from the west or even southwest across the Auckland region, again similar to the EC operational. I think we can now be pretty confident the centre will lie off the NI west coast between Taranaki and Auckland on Sunday, which would put the zone of easterly gales from Taranaki through Kaikoura, and northwesterly gales from Northland through Waikato. Heaviest rain likely to be in the onshore flow from Mid Canterbury through Wairarapa. What happens after that is still up for debate though. The most likely scenario would see a slow decay and northeastwards movement over the Waikato area. [Cross posted from Cyclone Dove thread].

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
some rain here now...with a developing warm front
which was not initially shown by the models. but has now been picked up by the latest Euro model run
i was thinking surely we must get something with such a long fetch of moisture...
the dew point has gone back up to 22c here now

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
Interesting looking at the different model runs for Wellington. most want to give around 100mm or thereabouts. ICON is gone rougue and delivers 230mm on Sunday. Pin the tail on the donkey continues

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
23c dew point here now, crazy
6mm of nice rain
update, 23.5c dew point! (and 100% humidity)
update: we are in the clouds, 100% humidity, and dew point is now 23.7, as that is the air temperature (which is slowly rising)

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
Snow lines appearing on the Metservice 3-day charts, so potentially the alpine passes get affected by that on Sunday as the cyclone drags up a southerly in its wake. Going to be a contrast in felt temperatures either side of the weekend.

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
you would think this very humid and warm air mass over the north island
will either help fuel the TC ,i.e so its makes it last longer as a warm cored system and so only slowly weaken
but then other times when a TC encounters cooler drier air, the large scale baroclinic leaf (warm front) speeds up the transition to ex tropical , and can also help a system maintain its strength (pressure and wind wise anyway)
ps, Norfolk Island is in the path, yes?

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
Expected to pass nearby to the west as I understand reading the Aussie forecasters

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
woa, possible 150kmh wind gusts
when was the last time Norfolk Island had a TC come this close and as strong as that?
(actually I do remember they did have a TC pass by once and was easily visible on their rain radar)

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
The radar has it much further south than any model run... by a good 200km

Re: Cyclone Dovi- impacts on NZ
The heavy moisture that is currently over northern Westland... nothing to that extent is being picked up on any model.
