Thought I will make a thread for next week's low.

Hopefully it can bring us more rain and thunder too .

EC's 18Z run upgrading around Auckland to 40 to 60mm for the thread which is looking similar to the UK 12Z run.

Every run seems to have this low more and more further north. Not expecting more than about 10mm here in Christchurch.

Rainfall from the warm front in the next 24hours for the Auckland region according to 12Z EU.

Some cooling upper air tomorrow means a few squally thunderstorms could develop over the North Island given the high dewpoints.
GFS shows a cold front crossing from the middle of the day.

Why did I just hear on the radio them saying a storm is coming with possible power cuts and the most rain in one go since April 2017??? Seems pretty irresponsible

Partly based on a tweet from MS it seems… :-s

Probably referring to the metservice tweet and outlook for squally thunderstorms tommorow. I expect localised powercuts and downpours with thunder and Gusty winds at least

Just read the NZ Herald article saying the same thing. “ There was also expected to be up to 25mm of rainfall in one hour which would be the biggest fall since April 2017“. 🤦‍♂️

Yes. it looks as though that you will experiencing a rather stormy period with this low. Some periods of rain which haven't been seen for a while.
Looking forward for the drizzle, here tomorrow. :crazy:
Today was another cloudy day with NE winds and a maximum of 18.2C here.

Wheewy!

EC (usually conservative in its CAPE calculation) is chucking some serious numbers round the Waikato (1700j/kg), although CAPE is terribly fluid ;)

Certainly some moisture laden air coming our way with quite high precipitable water values.

Upper air is fairly cool around -14 to -15 degree region tomorrow afternoon.

Looking forward to some Lightning! :D

Temperature up to 18C this morning. Only 4mm rain overnight, less than forecast which is disappointing. Fingers crossed for some decent falls today!

the cold front and clearence is coming in fast according to the sat image
interestingly my Air Pollution reading has incresed as the wind has gone more northerly....and I know that salt spray affects it..so it likely a pre cursor warning of a sudden NW change coming
big temperature rise here overnight with that warm front too :)
28mm here so far in total
now my wettest November on record!, 186mm
