Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
thats a good example there David
check out the auto scale graphs, it should show that barometer spike better
ps, sounds like the kaipara area got a tornado
pps, that CB to my NNW is looking more intense...and heading my way (might just to my north?)

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
Some lightning showing up with those cells on our West Coast.
I see GFS still has good instability over us Tuesday, clearing conditions Wendsday. Model disagreement after that but GFS brings a fairly cold looking trough over NZ later in the week.

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
All I can say is.....
YAY the bloody lightning drought here in the BOP is over !!!!
Was woken up @ 2.30ish this morning by the glorious tune of non-stop thunder, man it was great. Poked my head outside to watch the spectacular show complete with heavy downpours, wind etc,
Have had a few more roll through during the arvo here and hoping for a few more tonight and tomorrow, fingers crossed.
Could be in for a mission if it goes off here tomorrow...
P.S. have set up an old box to run on XP with WD running 24/7 so long as it doesn't die due to lacking tech (only 486 with 128megs of ram).

Don't know what caused it, but I did hear this one coming early this morning, also there is a lot of small tree debris for about 2km along the road.Tornado Tim wrote:The trough was quite obvious on my weather graphs:

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
Steady rain falling here now , the start of the rain we have been waiting for 2mm so far.
Brief splash of rain last in Christchurch from that front, then light drizzly stuff after.
I am not surprised to see a low risk for thunderstorms about Kaikoura tonight, the dewpoints are very high for Canterbury overnight.
Looking fantastic for a wintry blast at the end of the week now, our first taste of winter and its bringing snow to very low levels possibly below 200m even.
But lets not jinx it just yet sorry guys .

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
Well it has been just filthy here in the Naki.
We were in New Plymouth for about 5 hours today and it never stopped raining the whole time.
We drove into a wall of water on the way up through Inglewood, with crazy amounts of rain.
Lunch at mums and she reported lots of thunder and lightning all night and most of the morning..
A couple of big CB's to be seen to the west this arvo.
Cheers
Drew

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
could be a weekly pattern of lows in the tasman every weekend has started....not good for saturday sports, LOL
good photos from taranaki!
GFS has a big rain maker low for easter aus (they have a name for it, cant remember it now), for friday....
certainly a big jet stream in place at the moment to fuel that
