This next line looks to be coming our way as well, looks like it's going to blow up like the last one.

I agree I can already see it from here, LOL
It seems it has some CB's in it too, it may very well intensify as it comes over land as heat is radiated better by land than water.

Im going to hopefully get some photos

this thing should fire up very quickly when it hits the warm land. its warm and very sticky. so plenty of fuel for the fire and the cooling aloft. it looks like it will pass over hamilton this afternoon which is even better. im going to take a camera this afternoon. and if things are still going strong at 5.30 ill chase.

Kinda was but also wasnt kidding, yes I did grab the mobile and attempted to take some photos, also grabbed the missus one which might have some better resolution images on it but in the end, by the time I had registered what was happening it was almost too late.

Nice hefty troppo style shower just came through as usual while driving back up here, white out, lots of surface water, no thunder heard from myself or any of the boys here.

That last shower line fired up with some lightning near the coast North of Orewa, still going by the look of the detector. DP still around 19 and the temp had risen to around 24 C

Thunderstorm north of Auckland is moving into the Hauraki Gulf, some brief mod to heavy showers at my place currently .

Humid here at the moment.... very tropo... have a huge convergence line out over the bay... the tops are exploding and... winds are gusty...

Just showery conditions here and a cool 19Â°C, cooler than last night....

Pic of the what I think is a seabreeze convergence line ( feel most welcome to correct me )

another view looking NNE of what I feel possibly is a seabreeze land type convergence line... sorry if I have got the weather terms wrong, still learning weather...

bonus thunder here now

I see in metservice's latest outlook:
"Thunderstorms have been affecting eastern parts of Auckland this afternoon, with heavy rain and hail. These storms should move out into the Hauraki Gulf late afternoon and weaken."

Another thunderstorm paid a visit to Hamilton how nice..... I have near 40mm of rain in the gauge now

Thunder now coming from the NW now

jamie · Unread post by **jamie** » Thu 21/01/2010 18:05

had a very intense strom roll over in taupiri at 5.15. Here at my parents they missed it. but heck it was intense. heavy heavy rain, 10mm in under 10 minutes and thunder at the same time as the lightning. lost count of the rumbles but the tracker shows it peaked at 23 in one minute which doesnt suprise me one bit. im now happy

jamie · Unread post by **jamie** » Thu 21/01/2010 18:16

i just checked the lightning tracker on the weather computer. 12 strikes withing 5km from here, which in a striaght line puts it not all that far away from where i am working. it must have only just mised here.

sun is out again and its a steam room out there.

Am in kinloch near taupo at the moment and had a monster go over while we were in the boat maybe an hour and a half ago now. Loads of lightning and really intense rain. It was awesome!

The cell over past the bombays is finally making itself heard.. 2 nice large bangs so far, music to my ears!
First thunderday (for myself) for 2010 also

Just did an evening drive down to South Auckland/NorthWaikato, some very nice Cb development to be seen.

Manukau heads obs · Thu 21/01/2010 19:48

the showers are just skimming past us here, going down the coastline
but I can see some better CB's about to move onto us from the NW
its like a spring weather pattern today!
