    Weatherwatch has adviced us there could be be possible isolated power outages due to wind from Today Friday Jan 17th  to Tuesday Jan 21st       GALES   FRIDAY: Easterlies dominate with gusts into gale force in some exposed areas. Most at risk: North of the city in rural areas and eastern coastal areas. LOW RISK for ISOLATED outages.   SATURDAY: East to ESE winds dominate with breezy to gusty weather, mainly below gale (other than marine areas). Most at risk: North of the city in eastern coastal areas. LOW RISK for ISOLATED outages.   SUNDAY: Easterlies ramp up more with gusts into gale force and severe gale possible too. Most at risk: North of the city in rural areas and eastern coastal areas, but potentially further southwards over the city as the day goes on). LOW-MODERATE RISK for isolated outages.     MONDAY: Easterlies likely reach their peak with severe gales in exposed places. Most at risk: From Auckland city centre northwards. MODERATE RISK for outages, especially eastern and northern areas.   TUESDAY: A rain band finally moves in from the north and tracks southwards with windy to gale easterlies - winds look to ease over the day as the rain shifts southwards and winds then turn SE. This rainband may be unstable and could produce localised heavy falls and localised strong winds - but overall winds may start to ease.  LOW RISK for outages across the city and region but a MODERATE RISK for severe gales around Great Barrier Island.      RAIN: Heavy rain is possible over Monday and Tuesday but the jury is still out on totals. Over this week the numbers have varied between 30 and 50mm which isn’t too problematic, but adds another dimension to those peak winds.    WHAT COULD BREAK THIS FORECAST? The low north of NZ is quite messy in design for now, and between that low pressure and the lazy high pressure zone south of the North Island it means both TIMING and PRECISION will shift around in the days ahead.  For example, wind maps yesterday for next Tuesday showed damaging winds over Auckland… but in the global data update this morning (at 8am) the modelling shifted that more out to sea and twisted the winds more south-easterly (a much kinder direction for Auckland usually). Because of this we’ll update you each morning over the weekend as we try to “lock in” what is most likely.   While there are many global models we all use, the data we have from The Weather Company crunches all that modelling into one forecast.   PEAK TIMING Peak time for severe weather looks to be from Sunday PM to Tuesday AM.   To get real time alerts if you're not  already a subscribers  - Click Here
