lots of lightning out at sea at the moment. according to blitzortung. possibly heading this way. moderate risk for upper north island tommorow afternoon. so lets wait and see.

I hope they don't arrive.
Auckland gets too many thunderstorms as compared to other main cities.

lol thats true. but you guys had your turn recently with the supercells,hail and tornadoes. so now its our turn. there is a whole lot of lightning out at the tasmin. I am thinking some of that will make it

Models continue to show ample moisture feeding down the atmospheric river before the front tomorrow afternoon. Lots of warm moist air, a prefrontal trough and a sharp edged cold front always makes the day interesting

Some afternoon downpours is the best chance. I haven't had much luck this year, so hoping for a freak 20mm this afternoon on the convergence

its all going to slide down the coast by the looks
I did say that its hard for auckland to get decent rain out a tasman front at this time of year (but it can still happen)

i see in the tasmin lightning has started up again. possibly coming to auckland?

good heavy rain here now

Awhituobs · Unread post by **Awhituobs** » Tue 03/12/2019 14:09

very windy here and some just usefull rain (107kmh peak gust and 3mm)
big temperature drop, from 23c to 16c now
looks like we will get another 3 to 5mm from the next rain band

looks like taranaki is in for some thunder. lightning heading towards that direction according to blitz.

light rain here at the moment but was heavy before. windy here too

Awhituobs · Unread post by **Awhituobs** » Tue 03/12/2019 16:18

a usefull (any rain is usefull from now on ) 5mm here..sunshine now..but the wind and sun will quickly dry that out

It was nice to see a good clearance this afternoon to blue skies. The set up next Sunday/Monday looking promising at this stage.

I was surprised how quickly the front suddenly got shunted on

Estimate there were some gusts to 80 or 90 km/hr with the front - which is high for inland Waikato. I had a bit of cleaning up to do around the garden and have heard from others a similar story.
