spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Tue 11/05/2004 11:46

Later in the week it will cross the upper North Island with rain probably Thundery.

lovely,

thats what I wanted to hear

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Tue 11/05/2004 16:45

It looks like the unstable air associated with this trough will pass to the north of Northland end of the week. So just a low chance of any convective activity here in Auckland.

For NORTHLAND, AUCKLAND AND WAIKATO FROM ABOUT HAMILTON CITY NORTHWARD.
A band of heavy rain is expected to cross these areas on Wednesday.As it does so
,
there will likely be a burst of heavy rain over a 2 to 4 hour period. This may
deliver as much as 40 to 60mm and hourly intensities could briefly reach 30mm/hr
.
Such intensities may cause local flash flooding.

You can always tell in this gloomy(also quite mild for this time of year) weather that there will be lots of rain as I never seen it gloomy then it fines up again without lots of rain first

It will settle over us bringing rain for a few days and as it moves away a gale force SouthWest flow will spread over us
