Marine Recreational Forecasts - Taupō
Area Description:
Lake Taupo
Situation:
A slow moving front lies over the northeastern North Island, while a trough lies over the South Island. Tomorrow, the trough moves away as a ridge of high pressure spreads across central New Zealand, and another front approaches the far south of the South Island late in the day. Cyclone Vaianu is forecast to track southwards and approach eastern Northland, then move south to southeast across the North Island during Sunday. Several Severe Weather Watches have already been issued for this multi-hazard, potentially life-threatening event, and it's likely many of these will be upgraded to Orange Warnings, with the possibly of some Red Warnings. Other regions not already covered by a Watch may be added depending on the track of the cyclone. Cyclone Vaianu is forecast to move away to the southeast of New Zealand Monday morning, followed by a series of fronts embedded in a westerly flow.
