[Chris Raine]

Sunny day now overcast waiting for the drizzle or rain to arrive

[CWUweather]

Steady rain here now..... and getting heavier

[CWUweather]

Radar looking pretty clear to the north of canty. Surely there must be more to come

Year, over the WE looks likely.

You mean on the west coast? I would say that coming in the the NE looks more likely

[Chris Raine]

Very lgt dz here more so on southerly facing slopes , breezy cool southerly

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

You mean on the west coast?

Not really, it will be dry over there.

[CWUweather]

have you looked at what is heading their way? haha. so what do you think is coming for us?

[Storm Struck]

Just a smattering of light/moderate rain so far just cutting on 3mm so far, you can see a general switch with the warm front over us moving across from the North to south and a band of showers coming down from the East.
These will boost the rain totals as they can be heavy when they come in from the general easterly direction, so overnight and into tomorrow morning we could be seeing some brief heavy showers especially along those coasts unless they gain omph as they head over land.

it dosen't look like much but the Nelson area should get a good dump (again)
Oxford may get 50mm

The metservice forecast, and their maps are showing two completely different things. forecast says rain clearing evening although their maps are not showing any significant falls until evening!

[snowstormwatcher]

22mm in Nelson for this event.

[Nev]

Not sure what next weekend's weather has to do with this thread?


32.2mm here for this event so far after another 7mm yesterday arvo and last night.

P.S. I see Whangaparaoa recorded gusts to 94 km/h very early yesterday morn and I think that 65mm for Akld quoted by Stuff yesterday morn might have been for way up in Warkworth.

P.P.S. Over 230mm recorded at the Coromandel's Pinnacles since Monday morning.

Those showers coming in from the west on to the Auckland area are so fast moving

[Orion]

Currently 9.5 degrees.

[CWUweather]

Metservice hour by hour going to town for chch around lunch time through until 3pm!

Radar shows the low is going to cross the waikato. Looks very neat on radar watching it all spin around the centre.

Had to look at the radar when you said that... I was like "what showers?" - as we have had no extra rain here since midnight. We've had 26.6mm total for the event here.

They didnt look heavy showers been yellow ,but just fast moving thats all

[Inny Binny]

very steady now in prebbleton, looks like it should hang around at this pace for a couple more hours at least.

[Storm Struck]

Yeah very patchy light but thick rain from midday but now a more more steadier rain, winds generally light from the SW and 13C.
The low is clearly defined on the radars with some classic wrapping going on near Taranaki, the rain band over us seems to be sliding from north to south through a channel from just north of the Rakaia river.

[CWUweather]

chucking it down here. i dont reckon it will top until 6pm at the earliest

[sw_windbow]

0.4mm so far in Dunedin. May push up to 1.5mm with more drizzle forecast tonight.

[Richard]

10 mm from this system which now looks all over till this weekends new system
