Re: New Year Thunderstorms
That surface NE is a bit stronger than forecast, this is going to make this afternoon a bit more interesting.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Te kauwhata, rangiriri, west Huntly seems to be a breeding ground today. I’m in the outflow crap from that.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Plenty of lightning thunder here in northern Waikato, some nice Cgs observed, a much better day today than yesterday.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
TK cells now merged into one line and a warning is out for them. Semi-regular IC lightning with fairly boomy thunder.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Supercell heading E-SE near Timaru currently, spotted the hooks on radar before and confirmed photos of a tornado in the area.
Heading south to intercept, cell is huge to view.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Currently standing up on the 'Downs' with John looking at an amazing storm to the South. We recon the wall cloud is about 20 km long.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Is that supercell turning up the coast? I see the severe TS watch extends to about Rolleston until 10pm.
Edit - watch, not warning

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
The storms in Waikato have been near stationary back building all day. If you were under it you would have been drowned. I have been on the edge of the exhaust of the northern Waikato storm. Thunder all afternoon and on and off light rain.
Another day where I’ve missed the rain we so badly need.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Can see that storm did go out to sea, however it looks like a gust front might be developing just north of Rangitata going by the faint line of bugs on the radar. Or it's just the southerly change.

Towers rapidly building overhead and to the south of Ashburton but the southerly may get here before the storms can mature.

Re: New Year Thunderstorms
Couple from the Lyttelton harbour lower lookout on Sumner Road, can see the TCu building but my that supercell looks impressive!
