Re: Predicted "Bomb" system 12-14 Oct
Poor old M.S. just cannot shake off the spectre of June 2006. There's been a bit of rain in North Otago, but no snow at all.

-25 hPa in 24 hours here at Tawa, north of Wellington.
I note that Mana, just north of here, reports -26 hPa in the 24 hours to 10:15.
Wind has been slowly easing here since 2 a.m. when it was a bit wild. 7 mm from this event so far.

Steady rain here now, not overly heavy however. Went for a drive to Rakaia earlier, hit some very heavy stuff between Dunsandel and Rakaia.

Re: Predicted "Bomb" system 12-14 Oct
Oh whoops. Dont know why I thought it was today :S Heavy falls dont seem to be setting in around the city. Cloud layers are all different. Just few spots here at the moment. Almost all of Canterbury going by radar is getting hammered except ChristchurchRazor wrote:Rugby is tomorrow at AMI

Re: Predicted "Bomb" system 12-14 Oct
Started to snow in tekapo by the looks of it, still way to warm for any in Arthurs pass tho but im sure that will change.

Re: Predicted "Bomb" system 12-14 Oct
Has been steady rain this morning with heavy bursts periodically, however we just had quite a large random gust blow through the trees, wonder what caused it?

Re: Predicted "Bomb" system 12-14 Oct
It doesnt surprise me if it is sleeting and i wont be surprised if theres flakes coming down later either, this is a very classic advective set up event just abit out of season and still a question of whether it could do so.
The same system brought snow to the lower hills of NSW some great photos from yesterday with a simular set up.
Between 3-10pm i reackon will be the time to be aware of.

Just got hit by a good squall, gusts to 60 kph from the NW - that's strong for that direction.

The rain stopped falling on N.O. an hour or so back, and the cloud level has risen quite substantially, with the odd patch of sky occasionally visible. Quite mild temperatures, as well.
