Re: General October Weather
looks good there nzstorm. i was thinking of taking time off work to chase storms if they accour, what time roughly would you think the trough would arrive in Canterbury? i know if we dont have alot of cloud cover to enhance suface heating we could get pre trough storms..NZstorm wrote:Thanks Nev.
Looks like another hail set up over the South island tomorrow but not as severe as Sunday.
The upper trough crosses the North Island but is uneventful.
500mb chart for Tuesday 1pm

After this next rain system moves through the weather looks a bit more settled in the short term.

Re: General October Weather
GFS is usually good on the day for placing storm activity and it has it over eastern North Otago this afternoon spreading into coastal Canterbury this evening. The set up is not comparable to Sundays as there was more moisture on Sunday with better convergence and the set up was more over the plains. Cb tops quite low today but should still be good for some lightning given 500mb -32C. A short wave will come in during the afternoon to trigger the convection.looks good there nzstorm. i was thinking of taking time off work to chase storms if they accour, what time roughly would you think the trough would arrive in Canterbury? i know if we dont have alot of cloud cover to enhance suface heating we could get pre trough storms..

Re: General October Weather
What happened to the front! Not even enough rain to register in the rain gauge. Pretty unfortunate given that there looks to be a drier weather pattern moving in... and only 20mm MTD

Re: General October Weather
Cu cloud forms forming from early this afternoon from a fine start to the day, with light winds.
Cu forms not really getting anywhere, with some glaciating and weakening away.
However, the NE remaining persistent and still is.
Looks like some development now to the TC direction, south to there.

Re: General October Weather
Not looking promising here now.
Mind you we have had 3 thunderstorms in 4 days which is something unusual for here
