› A distinct forcing mechanism is needed for
concentrated precipitation.
› Widespread upslope precipitation will ‘rob’
vertical motion from the coastal
convergence zone.
› Pay close attention to the SREF when it looks
blotchy for risk of rainfall – this tells you that
one of the parameterization schemes is
teetering between off and on.

A rather dry air mass (preceding a rain
storm) may lead to higher than
expected ceilings.
 Evaporative cooling which occurred with
the onset of the heavier rain also kept
ceilings higher than expected as did a
mean southeast (downslope) flow.
 Widespread isentropic uplift leads to
reasonable rainfall estimates.

