VIDEO: Friday’s update on Severe Cyclone Gabrielle

> From the WeatherWatch archives
Cyclone Gabrielle was upgraded to a severe Category 3 cyclone overnight but will weaken a little before it reaches New Zealand.
The storm is going to go through a big transition as it leaves the tropics and turns extra-tropical. This shifts the severe weather further out from the centre of the storm and makes the low lop-sided (with the bulk of the severe weather in the southern half of the storm).
This weekend we’ll have extra updates, with a video later on Saturday and another one on Sunday.

What is happening with the high over NZ at them moment? Won’t that block the cyclone and send it east?
Lewis on 10/02/2023 7:28am
I think the high currently sitting to the east of NZ is largely responsible for the cyclones trajectory — it’s thought that it will block the cyclone from continuing east, instead causing it to head southeast into NZ. Weatherwatch to correct me if I’m wrong!

Thank you. It’s a bit of a worry that’s for sure.

This is a great site. The map looks so horrific. It’s 2am here in Denver Co and communicating with friend Renee in Auckland. Hope that move to the East happens.
Take care everyone.
