and yet the low center is supposed to be only 992?
must be deeper than that...

MS had the low's centre at 989 hPa at 1pm - Kaitaia has dropped by 2 hPa in the last half hr to 997 hPa.

I can't see where we are going to get more rain from

3mm of rain here, hopefully we get much more than this....

Just showers to come now, mainly drizzly.

Jim reckoned that Kerikeri Aero had 35mm earlier today (and Cape Cape Reinga, 18mm), so 51mm about 8km further north at Alan's Kerikeri PWS seems quite feasible.

I'm also pleased Jim corrected that naive reporter who kept referring to this system as a 'weather-bomb'.

P.S. MS now have the low's centre down to 987 hPa at 7pm - Kaitaia down to 995 hPa.

2.6mm here today.

Manukau heads obs · Mon 20/01/2014 19:37

there is up slope orographic rain effect inland from Keri Keri on the hills (where that station is)

Manukau heads obs · Mon 20/01/2014 19:56

I am hoping we will pick up some rain here in the SW wind flow tomorrow afternoon

Woke up with 987 hpa, the low center looks like its just about on top of auckland on the radar, very little wind... For now.

Manukau heads obs · Tue 21/01/2014 06:31

cape reinga has 45knot SW wind now
yes , 999 baro here...
low center is just off hokianga...
I would say

does not look as defined on sat image as it did now

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Tue 21/01/2014 06:53

You mean 989hpa Brian.

Looks like a little bit of heavy rain Dargaville way but it will miss us I think. It was producing lightning out at sea.

Manukau heads obs · Tue 21/01/2014 06:54

ops...too early in the morning..
bit better rain (drizzle) here now..

Manukau heads obs · Tue 21/01/2014 07:25

gusting to 70knots at cape reinga now!
(130kmh)

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Tue 21/01/2014 07:33

Just light winds here currently, radar suggests we will catch a spell of decent rain shortly, dewpoint is 19C.
Has been isolated thunder over Northland.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Tue 21/01/2014 07:49

Some elevated thunder over Northland this morning. Pity it missed here, we need the rain! Steady drizzle here.

David · Unread post by **David** » Tue 21/01/2014 07:49

We've been lucky in Howick, 8mm since midnight

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Tue 21/01/2014 07:55

MS had the low's centre back up to 988 hPa at 7am this morn and crossing Northland over the last few hours in an ESE direction.

Total of 9mm here so far…

P.S. I see Whangaparaoa recorded E'ly gusts to 104 km/h in the hour to 9pm last night.

Manukau heads obs · Tue 21/01/2014 08:03

there was reports of power cuts around auckland area last night...
good the media have stopped calling it a weather bomb...very over used term now....
