Abstract
AbstractA major forecasting challenge is predicting the likely intensity of rainfall in convective situations in which intense short‐period rainfall can lead to surface water flooding. The study demonstrates a useful correlation between precipitable water and 1 hr gauge‐derived rainfall accumulations in situations with deep instability and relatively slack flow in depth. The correlation forms the basis of a forecasting technique, independent of numerical weather prediction (NWP) model forecasts of rainfall, being applied at the UK's Met Office Flood Forecasting Centre (FFC).
