It sure doesn’t look good Phil. A direct hit on NZ looks fairly likely to me if it slides down the back side of the high which I am sure it will be wanting to do. Hopefully it might speed up & blow through prior to Xmas but the timing looks to be coinciding with Xmas which is a bummer.
Will be very much looking forward to your updates next week
Cheers
Dave
