Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
I thought this one might as well have its own thread with some reasonable potential in certain areas of the SI and NI. Tonight, the front is currently moving through parts of the SI. Some prefrontal showers in parts of the NI. Overnight into Friday is the main day.
All the best, hope you get good drop.

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
40mm would be excellent... held off watering anything today in the hopes that tomorrow won't be a fizzer

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
It rained from the arch cloud around 7-8pm, moderately heavy for a short time. Looks like a decent amount of rain overnight, our first in a while.

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
We could really use some useful rain up here. So long as rainfall rate stays below 35m/hr, bring it. As where we live is on a flood plane these days, anything 40mm/hr and above is not welcome. I'm not holding my breath, but some useful rainfall would be appreciated (even though the hedge will go nuts, and I hate having to deal with it's growth).

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
Didn't get below 20C here last night.
I see some west Auckland areas got a little heavy rain yesterday arvo from the odd convective cell, including 30mm in the hour to 5:20pm at this inland Karekare PWS (36mm total).

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
Good to see some really dry areas getting a nice drop. I'm sitting on 36.6mm YTD, I'm hoping this rain band can maintain its energy and double that total but 20mm might be more realistic.

I'm at Belmont in the Hutt valley at the moment.

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
Unusual for Auckland to get a temperature drop like that, some patchy rain arrived here with a very brief
gusty wind change.
Perhaps some thunder early tomorrow afternoon North Auckland.

MS's Wainuiomata site has recorded over 90mm so far today, 79mm of which fell in just 4 hrs.
Lower Hutt over 50mm…

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
I still have hope There is still plenty of moisture in the mid levels NW of Auckland that is not on the radar. Hopefully it squeezes down to the surface in the next few hours. Time will tell.
Great falls down south.

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
The line seems to have stalled or even going West again, didn't see that in the modelling. That's useful for some more Western areas like Raglan that were extra dry. Up to 16mm on mine, going to pass 20 eaisly.

Re: Front and upper low 7 - 9 March
Typical Wellington story - first decent rain in ages and the usual things happen. Doesn't take much to cause a slip or two. I wouldn't want to count the number of unstable looking banks and slopes bordering our roads.
