My station had it highest daily windrun in 7 years yesterday

Not surprised - 94 km/h gusts at Whangaparaoa late yesterday morning and 85 km/h the day before.

that rain band could now cause problems for parts of Northland..its very slow moving and has stopped weakening

^ True. I see Whangarei Aero has recorded 111mm since yesterday arvo.

it looks like it has caught a bit of energy boost (divergence) from the sub tropical jet passing by to the north
but as that moves out to the east it should weaken again

Whangarei recorded 43.8mm in 2 hours yesterday evening, Whangaparaoa 42.6mm within 2hrs yesterday morning, MS.

I got plenty plenty of lightning photos Sunday night but only flashes in the clouds, I have a quite limited view of the sky from my carport.

I see it seems someone was killed in the flood waters in Henderson.
