I just saw that myself. EC and ACCESS both also showing high rainfall accumulation figures for tomorrow.
Bring it on. The more warm rain right now the better.

Looks a bit like the March rain event with intense downpours drifting down from the north across Ak in the morning, see how this unfolds.

Here is a photo I took this afternoon of Cs layer cloud over the Mt. Peel area this afternoon, ahead of the incoming weather system developing in the Tasman Sea.

I sent a copy to TVNZ for their weather report of the news.
Maybe they will put it on or not. Might make a change from the George Empson weather photos from down here that quite often appear quite often on the TVNZ news. :smile:

A fine day after this morning's frost.
High cloud gradually increasing from the west this afternoon, thickening on from the halo picture above.
Today's maximum was 13C.

35mm , a good fall measured by my Davis which has seemed to under-read at times in the past year.

Reasonable spell of widespread rain here this morning, now eased but replaced by a very gusty northerly quarter wind

Looks to be a volatile week ahead, the autumn gales season finally arriving ?

Was watching the Westpac rescue helicopter buzzing around here earlier this morning. Hats off to them for braving this morning's atrocious conditions and to the local paddle boarder who managed to rescue the boatie from his sunken boat...
