DISCUSSION: As a strong low pressure system gradually pulls away from the island nation of New Zealand, the storm did not begin its exit before making quite an impression on many across the South Pacific Ocean region.  As described in the story attached in the post above, this unusual South Pacific mid-January storm took many by surprise in terms of wind and rainfall impacts.  To learn more about this story, be sure to click the link above and read the full story which was courtesy of NIWA Meteorologist Ben Noll.

Nice "atmospheric river" event and you can see it well with the Blended Total Precipitable Water loop at: http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/bTPW/TPW_Animation.html?fromDate=20170116&fromHour=0&endDate=20170119&endHour=0&product=AUSTRALIA_TPW&interval=3hours from 00 UTC Jan 16 to 00 UTC Jan 19. And up to 200 percent of normal moisture within the frontal band as it moved through at: http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/bTPW/TPW_Animation.html?fromDate=20170116&fromHour=0&endDate=20170119&endHour=0&product=AUSTRALIA_PCT&interval=3hours . Would not be surprised if there was some severe weather as well to go along with the heavy rain.
