Tokoroa - 9:50am

A blue sky day with the remnants of low lying fog disappearing after the frost. Nearly calm sou-easter, hardly registering.  An overnight low of 0.0ºC at 7:27am rising to a high of 9.5ºC so far now.  Baro - steadily rising at 1012.6 HPa.  A lovely day out there!

I see my condition statement says it "stopped raining" - we did have some rain last night and that and the dew has made a 0.5mm "tip"

Title: Friday’s national forecast
Post by: OhauitiWeather on August 11, 2012, 11:25:17 PM
A fairly short forecast today due to the ridge of high pressure over us. Mostly fine and sunny over the North Island with light winds and a little cloud, morning fog patches in Waikato and the Central North Island. A few morning showers about Hawkes Bay and Gisborne clear with sunny periods then increasing, cool southwesterlies ease.

Mostly sunny over the South Island with cloudy periods on the West Coast. Mostly fine and sunny elsewhere however there will be cloud at times particularly in coastal areas, winds will be light tending northerly or northeasterly in most places. Also there may be some morning fog about Central Otago and Southland which will gradually clear.

Temperatures will be pleasant in most regions for a winters day. 15 to 16 can be expected about the Bay of Plenty, about the coast north of Taranaki, also north of Auckland. 13 to 14 degrees elsewhere.

13 to 14 can be expected in most South Island places, perhaps a degree or two cooler about Central Otago.

Title: Settled today, rain this weekend
Post by: OhauitiWeather on August 11, 2012, 11:31:34 PM
Despite a large low pressure centre over the Tasman, the nation’s weather will remain settled today.

Mainly sunny skies are expected over the North Island today.  Even in the Waikato, where things are starting off a bit foggy today, it will end up being a day of plentiful sunshine and fairly light winds.  Gisborne and Hawkes Bay residents are likely to find clouds and a few showers this morning, but those will clear before lunch time.

The South Island will also see plenty of sunshine, although there are likely to be some cloudy periods along the coasts.

But that big Tasman low is keen to unsettle our weather for this weekend.

The northern sections of the North Island will see showers move in during the day tomorrow.  After sunset, much of the northern and western sections of the island should be seeing rain and some of it could be heavy.  The best chances for heavy rain will be about Northland and Auckland.

The rain continues to spread south and east during the overnight hours Saturday into Sunday.  Bay of Plenty through Taranaki will have the best chance for rain early on Sunday.  Heavy rain will be possible in these areas as well.  A few thunderstorms can’t be ruled out either.

Rain chances will continue to spread south and east.  The lower North Island and upper South Island should be seeing rain by sunrise Sunday.
