Thunderstorms Mid June?
Well GFS is giving the impression of some good potential for thunderstorms for the 13th at least.
Have a look at theses:
Main areas of Interest are:
Northland, Auckland, Western Waikato and South Western Waikato.
Possibly: NP, Coromandel District?
It seems this Low may give thing a little push so hopefully the DP's will be a bit higher and some cloud cover will go.
Cross your fingers people.

Re: Thunderstorms Mid June?
The GFS just gets better and better....
Look at this...
If the majority of the island is getting a a higher CAPE Now.
Centralized around the Waikato and Western Waikato.
Hows thinking about chasing?
There is a very low cloud base atm here...
A person from Bombay is reporting Mammatus formations already.
Why have met service updated there thunderstorm outlook?

Re: Thunderstorms Mid June?
Its a case of watching out for any punch in the convection today. There needs to be some convergence, the daytime heating will help, even 9 days out from the shortest day. The daytime heating played a part in thursday afternooons storms over Northland I think.

Re: Thunderstorms Mid June?
Good to hear that it looks better in Auckland atm. Waikato not so good but this DTSH may help it get its act together.

Re: Thunderstorms Mid June?
yes, more solid looking cells out to the ESE of Auckland. Obviously some convergence going on there.

Yes a few local shoots heading up but seem to be quickly dying at this stage. My view atm. First one has that weak Cb which is now more NE of auckland.

Re: Thunderstorms Mid June?
A quick snap of the convergence line from my place. Excuse the tree. This line is still a bit punchy, not weakening.

Re: Thunderstorms Mid June?
Where's all the storms in the Tasman? Can't see any lightning being detected out there
Strange because we have warm temps and good humidity as well as an unstable atmosphere yet there is still nothing much happening

Re: Thunderstorms Mid June?
Interesting Cb development today but not strong enough for thunder around here.
photo of a Cb just south of Auckland 15mins ago, a heavy shower line has formed down there.
