Re: Deepening Tasman Low - Apr 26-28
Once the wind drops it should start at least be more than drizzle.

Re: Deepening Tasman Low - Apr 26-28
Is it me, or is this a bit of a non event for lightning?
Not wanting to Jinx it, I left the new camera at home today. I've got the old one with me though.

Re: Deepening Tasman Low - Apr 26-28
Looking good on the 1pm radar for Akld.
Yes, some good falls in the NE of Northland. I see Kerikeri-Weather managed to pick up 22mm this morn (mtd 63mm), and I think Kaikohe might be up around 30mm, although not as much elsewhere.

Re: Deepening Tasman Low - Apr 26-28
Low cloud is just breaking here now with the sun coming out, its been an overcast morning with a very fine misty drizzle.
So the front must be getting closer going by the radar, should be some patchy rain here within the hour.

Re: Deepening Tasman Low - Apr 26-28
I think just a couple of strikes over Northland high ground, current Cb development over Northland may produce something thundery, may catch a heavy shower here in the next hr or twoNot very thunder active tho?
