Should be a big north easterly coming through soon and bringing a cool change with it and according to the charts it looks like it's gonna blow all week. Will be interested to see what happens when the cold front hits rain wise, especially around ilan. Last year at the end of Dec we had the so called 'winter typhoon' which was was caused by similar conditions.

By comparison, this is the graph for last year's big winter storm. The lows and the cold front match up pretty well, but the high pressure doesn't seem to be packing as much wind this time - not at this stage anyway.
