Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

A Method of Building Vertical Wind Shear Feature and Convective Storms Recognition Based on This Feature

, 2012
There is a very close relation between severe convective storms and vertical wind shear. Therefore, it is particularly important to extract the vertical wind shear feature used to recognize storms and distinguish the type of storms such as rainstorm ...

Imminent Localized Precipitation Preceded by a Surge in Cloud‐Base Descent and Reflectivity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The nowcasting of localized precipitation (LP) is often limited by insufficient observation of the vertical cloud evolution preceding rainfall. Here we systematically tracked rapid cloud development within 2 hr before LP onset, utilizing cloud data collected in 2024 from the millimeter‐wavelength cloud radar network across China, together with

The Spatial and Temporal Variability of Convective Storms over the Northeast United States during the Warm Season

, 2011
A spatial and temporal climatology of convective storms over the Northeast United States during the warm season (April–September) is presented using composite National Operational Weather radar (NOWrad) data at 2-km grid spacing from 1996 to 2007 as well

Drying Effect of Landfalling Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The high precipitation efficiency of tropical cyclones (TCs) is theorized to dehydrate the atmosphere, a process with important climate implications that has yet to be confirmed by direct observational evidence. Using satellite and reanalysis data, this study statistically examines the drying effect of landfalling TCs. Results indicate a local

Tracing Hailstone Development: Isotopic Evidence and Microphysical Variability in Texas Supercell Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Two supercell thunderstorms that occurred in Del Rio and Burkburnett, Texas in the spring of 2020 produced greater than 5 cm diameter hailstones. Fourteen hailstones, eight from Del Rio and six from Burkburnett, were cut in half along the maximum principal axis. Half the hailstone was dissected at 0.5 cm increments, providing 198 subsamples of

User‐Tailored Impact‐Based Hail Forecasts in Switzerland

Meteorological Applications
Hail represents a major atmospheric peril in terms of monetary damages in many European countries. This highlights the potential benefit of hail‐damage predictions, so‐called impact‐based hail forecasts, that can trigger preventive actions.

Understanding Drought‐Induced Soil Moisture Feedback on Atmospheric Circulation: Observations and Simulation Experiments of the 2020 Western U.S. Drought

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract This study examines the large‐scale atmospheric response to reduced evapotranspiration during droughts in the Western U.S., using an observation‐based regression method and numerical experiments with a global climate model. We found that Western U.S.
