Warm Westerly

Unread post by NZstorm »

Temperatures will perk up with a warm westerly flow setting in across NZ. Potential for temps to rise into the mid 20's in Eastern regions.
Very stable looking at the moment but will turn thundery over Firodland/Westland by Friday.

Yes, overcaste Stratocumulus now and I think some light showers will develop in the west of Auckland overnight. A big temperature inversion up there now, so I doubt we will see too much sun tomorrow unless the wind can veer into the NW. A N'wester would clear the Stratocumulus.

Freezing level over Ak is way up at 3500m which is more like summer.

Currently getting warmer this evening in Christchurch with the wind turning more northerly. Current temp at 9:30pm 13.6 up from 11.2 at 6pm.

Looks like a windy few days ahead.

Lucky people up there for getting a great thunderstorm last Saturday night!

Yes mild here after that Ene died down this evening. I hate mild nights, keeps you tossing and turning in bed!
Could be a warm one depending on the easterly. WE could be interesting as that low passes over central NZ followed by a trough!
