Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Plenty of thunderstorms around the Wairarapa yesterday, saw a few CG's but as expected pretty messy. Today looking similar, less heating but stronger winds aloft, and convergence zone looks to be further north than where I was yesterday

Re: New Year Thunderstorms

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Good point, however one would think with a risk of severe thunderstorms that they may increase their monitoring during the risk period.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Are the triggers the same today as they were yesterday? Wind convergence?

The convergence today is in north otago/ south Canterbury. Mt peel might be a good spot again and timaru up to ashburton in evening.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Showers in Grey Lynn now.
Today's supercell potential looks to be eastern Wairarapa.
Mid Canterbury showing some shear but the moisture has cleared.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Hearing some very distant noises to the west... looks like central Auckland is more the sweet zone today

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Looks quite impressive looking that direction. I see there's a PWS in Westmere that's already recorded 50 mm from the convergence line.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Yes, last contact I had with Paul was just before Christmas in 2017, he had retired at that point. Sadly I've seen/heard nothing since. His insight would certainly be a welcome addition to the forum.
