Canty t'storms 15/04/2008?
Just so that we are competing with the NI'ers...can't have them having all the action today, can we?
Seriously, tho, the most recent GFS run has some pretty good numbers up for Canty...not sure what M/S have said just yet, but suspect something will come out soon...
Just being out and about this moring it is quite warm and humid...and now the sun has shone thru nicely to help warm things up (at least, in this part of town it has...Jeff's station is showing DP of 14C and temp of 17)
See attached....thoughts, all?
Cheers,
Glenn

They've changed the area of their estimations from what it was when I checked earlier this morning. Was down to about southern Canterbury for low risk thunderstorms and now its north of Christchurch

Yeah, even tho the even more recent models are showing an even higher CAPE than before, just don't see it happening...oh well...let the NI'ers have their day today!

Thanks for those pics. Interesting as I noticed those cb's on the satellite image this morning. Its unusual to get elevated convection coming off the alps.
There were few strikes in Canterbury with it as well.

I did see those CB clouds to the west this morning, but did anyone notice the mamatus i reackon its the best ive seen in awhile hope someone got some pics of it.
Just lacked abit on a few things today otherwise thunderstorms could have well been a possibility.
I noticed the clouds gained in height as they spilt eastwards into mid- south canterbury with quite a glaciated look and a few lighter showers along with a sneaky rainbow .
Sure was humid and warm once the sun appeared, got up to 27C in north canterbury i heard somewhere.
Looks like a sneaky little trough has developed just north of christchurch, this would explain perhaps the few isolated heavy showers around cheviot area at the moment.
Hmm still keeping an eye out for friday evening, although next tuesday looks more promising even though thats further out.
Cheers
Jason.

Yes. Jason Here are some pictures of the mammatus forms from about 7:45am this morning from here in SE Melton.
Weather turned to boring custard this afternoon with low stratus moving over. I was so bored I went and made my self a cup of tea and read the latest Womens Day magazine
