3rd Subtropical Low Pressure System - End of May

Unread post by Nev »

Thought it might be a idea to start a fresh thread for this next low pressure system approaching from the NW, which looks set to bring more rain over much of the country over the next few days, particularly the East Cape late Fiday. Rain is already moving in over the Far North.

Doesn't look like much heading for Auckland tonight going by the radar loop. Still, things may change :smile:

It will be just a deepening "horror" east of the country unlike the last 2 lows.

I see GFS is forecasting some instability with the 1-2 June system (sorry this may be the wrong thread...)
Forecast rain amount for Auckland is about 100mm for today's 00Z run!
