Abstract Convection‐permitting dynamical downscaling (CPDD) allows for an explicit representation of the convective storms that generate tornadoes, hail, severe thunderstorm winds, and locally heavy precipitation. Possible changes in such hazardous convective weather (HCW) due to human‐induced climate change are therefore projected with higher ...
