"From Sunday afternoon through Tuesday night, the guidance lines up on a prolonged South Island storm cycle. Timing confidence is good, with snow pushing in Sunday afternoon and ramping hard Sunday night."
"The best overlap for meaningful snowfall is from Porters and Mt. Hutt south through Mount Dobson and Ohau, where the forecast supports 30-150 cm by Thursday midday."
"Most guidance also converges on snow levels dropping into roughly 900-1,500 meters during the core of the storm, with colder east-of-the-divide bursts briefly nearer 800-1,100 meters."
