Low pressure sequence 5 -11 Nov

[David]

Have picked up 5mm of mostly light to moderate rain here this morning - hoping we can get some further good totals today ahead of the upcoming dry spell... ground can take a bit more yet

[treetop]

can see that one from here , very black. End of the week sees a return to normal boring SW/W for a few weeks. Enjoy this while it lasts.

If we want lightning this afternoon the skies need to clear up a bit with decent surface heating.

Tomorrow looks like the system is in departure mode with thunder risk east of Huntly.

Looks like there was a good storm over Waiheke Island earlier this morning, about 1.30am, according to lightning data.

Certainly was a great light-show (see my earlier post)...

Sun is coming out here no thunder here during the night but given that storm early Monday morning I'm not surprised. Hopefully More storms this afternoon.

Today's outlook from MS…

Valid to Midnight Tuesday 10 Nov 2020

A low is moving slowly east across the upper North Island today, with cold air in the upper atmosphere. There is a low risk of thunderstorms over the North Island today, however the risk of thunderstorms is considered moderate to high, from the Tararua Range to the central North Island, and northwards to Auckland and Gisborne as depicted on the chart.

These thunderstorms may produce localised rainfall rates of 10 to 25 mm/h and possible hail.

No thunderstorms or significant convection expected over the remainder of New Zealand.

Convergence starting to get going now hope another thunderstorm this afternoon

[spwill]

More cloud and cooler locally than yesterday but the afternoon convergence might be better than yesterday with the southwester pushing in later.

[Cyclone Tracy]

It's starting to bubble again. Multiple precip shafts appearing from north to south Auckland

[spwill]

Under the convergence here with heavy rain last 10mins, radar showing a nice convergence line now.

Yep heard that in the hustle and bustle of the CBD, really loud.

17mm in Howick today and looks to be clearing from the east now.

[spwill]

More lightning, hail here as well.

[David]

Glad I caught that before leaving for Howick, which misses out again. Just light rain in the CBD, action seems just west of the city
