Tropical Atmospheric River 13-17 Dec
Thought the upcoming week warrants a new thread. Significant flooding potential for large parts of NZ as the AK Covid bubble bursts. Going to be an interesting week

Re: Tropical Atmospheric River 13-17 Dec
This December is already looking different to 2017 when sea temperatures were also very warm, December 2017 was a dry month for NZ.

Re: Tropical Atmospheric River 13-17 Dec
MS as at Sunday morning:
Severe Weather Outlook
On Monday and Tuesday, a low pressure system is expected to move onto New Zealand from the Tasman Sea. The low should move slowly southeastwards over the country and deepen on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing significant rain and strong winds to many areas.
There is low confidence of heavy rain in the west of the North Island from Northland to Taranaki, including Coromandel Peninsula during Monday. During Tuesday and Wednesday, there is moderate confidence of warning amounts of rain for the north and west of the North Island from Northland to the ranges of Gisborne, and to Wellington, also northern Marlborough and Tasman. There is low confidence of rainfall accumulation meeting warning amounts in southern Marlborough, eastern Canterbury during Wednesday and early Thursday, as indicated on the chart.
In addition, there is low risk of severe northeasterly gales in exposed parts of Northland, Auckland and Coromandel Peninsula during Wednesday, and severe north to northeasterly gales in exposed parts of Gisborne during Wednesday and early Thursday.

Re: Tropical Atmospheric River 13-17 Dec
Latest GFS seems to want to cross a low over the upper south Island mid week. Parts of our hood are still getting over the winter atmospheric river event... don't need another one!

Re: Tropical Atmospheric River 13-17 Dec
I think they only do that for US named TC's.
The BoM, Fiji Met and JMA usually carry on alphabetically from the last season, i.e. the BoM's last named TC was Odette off WA in April this year.

Re: Tropical Atmospheric River 13-17 Dec
but those rain totals included yesterday, when you looked at the models yesterday, so you need to take that into account

I'm talking about Tue/Wed only, initially was showing 100mm or more, and it's been trending down, now only 40mm

Around 17mm of warm rain here late yesterday, lawns and gardens are looking great. The Jakaranda trees are putting on a purple show around Mt Eden currently.
