SWO Threat Situation valid from Tuesday 03-Jul-2007 to Friday 06-Jul-2007
Issued by MetService at 1:13pm Sunday 01st July 2007

During Tuesday and Wednesday, forecasters expect a broad trough to cross the country, followed on Thursday by a narrow ridge.

A low deepens in the central Tasman Sea on Thursday, and then extends a trough over the North Island. Moist northeasterlies could bring some heavy rain to Coromandel Peninsula, Bay of Plenty, also northwest Nelson on Friday. However, the risk that rainfalls will reach warning criteria is low at this stage.

Cold air could be spreading over the South Island on Thursday, and rain on the southern side of the trough could turn to snow to low levels in Marlborough and Canterbury on Friday. The risk that warnable amounts of snow will eventuate is only low.

Yep, and proud of it! :twisted: :P

I reckon I'll do what I always do, and wait and see. Bitter experience has taught me that I'm usually wrong when I try to figure it out.

I went for a lovely drive to Southbridge today and noticed the lack of snow along the Southern Alps, especially after the rain on Friday.
It must of been rainy up there and washed much of the snow away...or... bugger all snow has fallen previous to this?

Both. Not much snowfall so far this season plus a few days of warm rain mean very bony mountains.

Was on the Port Hills for a mountain bike ride this afternoon in 17 degree temps....could not believe how utterly devoid of snow the Southern Alps are for the beginning of July...Canterbury at least is surely miles warmer than a normal winter.
