Barometer has fallen 16.6 hPa in 13 hours or average of 1.28 per hour? The Outlook on my station says "Storm, Much Precipitation". Not seen that before?

Rain Radar shows that the next and what looks like the final rain band for this event is currently over he Waikato and Kaimai Ranges and coming our way, should be here shortly I expect.

Conditions: Rain stopped, cloud clearing but still raining on the Kaimai's. Wind now Westerly with Max Gust up to 59km. Temp: 15.3c Going Up, Humidty: 96%, Rain: 16.5 mm, Wind: 23Km/h W Pressure 999.5 hPa falling.

14:25 Rain on Kaimai seems to be disipating, Spec of Blue sky appearing on a definite clould line break, can now see outline of ranges through rain. Raining again.

14:40 Growing amounts of Blue sky out towards Kaimai's, still some cloud and raining agin here. Wind now down to 24km here now. The final rain band seems to have pretty much disintegrated on the Kaimais, looks like the "Storm" is pretty much over here?

14:55 Sun is out here now but clouds are building on the Kaimai's, looks like we are in for a period of showers. The whole system has moved through pretty quickly more or less as predicted, well for us anyway.

2322 hours and it is blowing like hell with violent gusts again from the South. Wind is making that whistling and roaring noise and gusting enough to make the house creak. Hate those violent gusts where it makes a loud were-ing noise. Unusual for a southerly, humidity is very high at 93%, down from 97%, 7 degrees, still dropping.

The much-anticipated Tasman low is already spreading rain and wind about New Zealand this morning.

Heavy rain and strong winds are still expected about much of the country today. The main focus will be about the western South Island and lower and eastern North Island. Heavy snow is also still on track for the higher elevations of North Otago, Canterbury and Marlborough starting later this morning.

The low is expected to make landfall about the top of the South Island this afternoon and then quickly clear the country by tonight.

The most intense weather will begin to east this evening, although snow heavy snow could still fall about the higher elevations of Canterbury into the overnight hours.

Government forecaster MetService has rainfall warnings up for the western and northern South Island and central New Zealand, including the North Island High Country.

Strong wind warnings are in effect for the central and eastern areas of the North Island as well as Canterbury and Marlborough on the South Island.

Road Snow Warnings are up for Lewis Pass, Porters Pass, Lindis Pass and Arthurs Pass. Significant snowfall is not expected below 400m.

Some locations aren’t even seeing rain, but still look pretty dismal. Michelle Bath in Queenstown said it was “miserable with super low cloud”.

Heavy rain and strong winds will continue to move across a large part of New Zealand today. Warnings remain in effect for not only wind and rain, but for snow as well. Higher elevations of Otago, Canterbury and Marlborough are still expected to see snow settle, possibly as low as 500m.

The heaviest accumulations are expected about Porters Pass where 15 to 25 cm of snow may accumulate near the summit. 10 to 20cm is possible about Arthurs Pass. 5 to 15cm is possible about Lewis Pass above 800 metres.

This low responsible for all this intense weather is still expected to rapidly move off to the east. Winds will likely remain gusty tomorrow and some rain is still possible about central New Zealand and the eastern North Island. However, the threat for severe weather will have ended.
