Excellent shot spwill

is that in practice for Tornado alley?

.
None of that down here just overcast with the odd light patch of drizzle and a welcome 10mm overnight after some moderate to slightly heavy falls.
Cheers
Jason.

Have got the message from Alex. I'm told the photo will be on page 3 of the Herald tomorrow.

I think having Rangitoto in the shot gives the photo much more interest.

Front page of the NZ Herald!, hope you got a good fee for that photo spwill.

Fine morning with cb's through the west but this trough line is coming in during the most stable part of the day.

Manukau heads obs · Wed 02/05/2007 07:23

yes, line of cb just about to come onto me here
but they look "old" and no lightning being picked up

i better buy a paper!

good stuff

quick shot of a cb head just off the coast here this morning

Nice to see the Lightning photo on the front page of the Herald.

Quite a good line of Cb clouds to the west this morn but they look on the weak side. The line will probably fire up over the warm land later but will be out to our east by then.

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Wed 02/05/2007 09:21

Just a shame it's only on the AK edition!

Nice line of heavy showers on the way soon.. low cloud here with fog clearing.. not much of a view of the Cb's.

amazing shot there spwill well done

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Wed 02/05/2007 09:58

Can see a bit of a blow up out to the west in amongst the junky cb.

Weather Watcher · Unread post by **Weather Watcher** » Wed 02/05/2007 10:25

Yes, excellent photo there spwill, probably one of the best I have seen from NZ. Well done.

Had a small thunderstorm pass through Palmy just prior to 12:30. Delivered a quick 6mm of rain.

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Wed 02/05/2007 13:33

Nice cloud build up's through our eastern sky now as the Cb line re develops in the warmer air.
