Re: Tasman Low and Ex-TC Cook - Apr 12-14
but for Auckland there is just going to be nothing out of the ordinary for wind and rainAucklanders are facing gridlock as workers flee the CBD ahead of dire warnings of Cyclone Cook's impact.
By midday, schools and university campuses had shut down, while offices sent staff home early.
On Thursday morning, the New Zealand Transport Agency said the Auckland Harbour Bridge might close amid fears of 160kmh winds.
However, on Thursday afternoon, MetService meteorologist Arno Dyson said it was unlikely the bridge would be closed.

Re: Tasman Low and Ex-TC Cook - Apr 12-14
Already the wind has switched to SW here, just a light breeze. And starting to look like the heavy rain might miss us despite the weather warning...

Re: Tasman Low and Ex-TC Cook - Apr 12-14
Auckland area is basicly in a COL right now (i.e between 2 lows)
so not much wind
but you can see there is very strong winds on the north side of the low center now in the rain radar
and the low does now seem to be moving a bit more SSW
so the Auckland area could still get good gales from the SW direction as the low passes to the SE of the area
White Island winds shows there sure is a strong winds to come ashore soon in the central to eastern BOP

Re: Tasman Low and Ex-TC Cook - Apr 12-14
Messaging a friend in Whakatane, who has just said it is still eerily quiet wind wise, but that everyone is "quietly freaking out about how windy it might get in parts of town".Manukau heads obs wrote:Whakatane/Ohope is very exposed to an easterly or NE wind

Her closing comment was "its all seriously depressing and scary ... parenting is hard today!"

White Island still being smashed, avg wind speed still sitting above 100kph. Whakatane be in the firing line soon, wind speed is slowly increasing there, although still got to wait till the wind works round to the NE, that will be the worst possible situation. Awaiting game for those there and I see some evacuations have begun.
