Thunderstorms, Upper NI, Sept 28th-30th

Still some weak showers around in the left over SW this morning!

Front coming through tomorrow looks to have a thunderstorm risk with it for many western and northern parts of the country. I would give it a 3 out of 5 at this time on the ts chance scale for Auckland.

Why havent M/s Included Auckland in the Thunderstorm outlook?
Its kind of clear that it is coming that way.
I would give a link back to M/s But the website is down.

M/S site might be affected by the day light saving time change?

Could be because its good time to maintain it as its neither here or there weather today also sunday rather than say tomorrow when it will be looked at more but as Brian said daylight saving as computers go in October still.

that front has developed amazingly since yesterday afternoon. looks like the whole west coast of nz is in the firing line. lightning active from top to bottom.

I think its because the front wasn't expected to reach Auckland before midnight - the time the chart is valid until.

what the hek is up with the metserivce website? i have not been able to get onto their website since since yesterday around midday. Last night i couldnt. Still cant today. All i hope is that they are putting the Mahia Radar online and thats why the site is currently down while they update the system.

still very lightning active, that front is. i always have trouble estimating ETA of these fronts, but im guessing tomorrow morning, it should catch up to us in auckland.

I would love to see an active Front like this one come through at night ( lightning photography), hopefully we do before the Spring is finished.

I'm wondering whether there are tstorms on the warm front as well spwill. The timing of the cold front tomorrow looks around the middle of the day. It would be nice if the passage was delayed a bit.

Well as expected the front died of all thunderstorm activity around the Western edges of the Waikato.

Tgsnoopy and all other people in the Tauranga area will be rather pleased with this:
My forecast atm is only outlining possible storms but it is looking better for the eastern coast.

Still no class 6 memory cards for HD recording, sigh. Slowest delivery from Deal Extreme I've ever had, so HD Video on the new camera is still not an option (If it's really good I'll go buy one at the ridiculously inflated NZ Pricing).

Fingers crossed we'll get some action this time.

Are these thunderstorms the length of the country arriving? How wide and apart are they?

Isolated storms Michael just west of here, random where they hit, a good looking storm close to the Northland west Coast at the moment
