june 14th - 15th polar blast

Unread post by mikestormchaser »

As i haven't made too many topics i thought i would on this and get in early on it, :lol:
Seems too be another very cold blast heading this way later on next week, Canterbury seems too be right in the line of this next snap with the possibilty too see some very low level snow, interesting too see what will happen with this one, as once again it is quite far out :lol: but we'll see 8)

cheers

So what current predictions for Canterbury On June 14th and June 15th.

When I last check, Wednesday the 13th was going to be light rain, Thursday was going to be sunny, and I'm not sure about Friday.

Is the cold snap going to miss us again?

Models last night were suggesting quite low level snow on both Friday and Saturday but now that doesnt look the case as it has changed completly.
Now for the onslaught of boring weather unless this weather bomb low delivers something interesting.
Cheers

Yep Canterbury should be sunny and fine with 10 temps of 10-12 degrees from wednesday to sunday 17th.

The met service though is still predicting snow in Southland though.

Has the snow forcast for Southland changed also?

Might get a few flurries to 600m on the Peninsula on Thursday night, nothing exciting looking at this stage and I'd like it to stay that way :D

That cumbersome blocking High in the Australian Bight is slowly moving our way and will take a week or so to get here. :(
However, another ECL may form also off the East Coast of NSW :(
Any front from the 'roaring forties' may be weak ;)

Good to see the Hawkes Bay area getting some needed rain, not as agressive as what the low delivered in NSW. :)
I hope that some of the cow cockys are not to dissapointed in selling their stock?

Don't worry - 2 1/2 months of winter to go, and then there's still spring. (remember Sept 2005?)

Yes, steady rain with warm spells, and more of the same again would really help them :)

92mm of rain from this low over a 24 hr period in my gauge just south of Hastings. Has put a smile on some faces and filled my tank.

I'm hoping this next low system can drop a lot of snow on Mt Ruapehu. Could be a potential snow maker if the front can get onto that region.

Yep, only light patchy drizzle for thursday, friday, clearly saturday.

No snow for the south Island this week.

Even next week is suppose to only bring light falls to the ski fields.

We certainly need the rain it's been awhile since we have had a good burst of rain.
Funny you say that Gopolks as I just looked at the GFS model and it's looking interesting for end of next week with possibly a cold outbreak by the weekend. Although it is an Australian model, I wasnt going to say anything and see how it panned out, so forget I said anything :roll: :lol: .
In rememberance today of the June 12th 2006 snowstorm a year today :P .
