Description:"One of the generally recognized failings of the PEP forecast model has long been its inability to predict (or even suggest) the presence of convective type rain, particularly in summertime air mass type situations. The difficulty can be partially attributed to scale and partly to physics. The scale problem is obvious -- the spacing of the forecast grid points is too large to capture even groups or clusters of convective storms, let alone individual cumulus showers. The physics problem is more subtle but presumably has to do with the non-hydrostatic dynamics of cumulus clouds and their interaction with their environment -- topics that are matters of active research and sufficiently unresolved in their details to be ready for inclusion in an operational forecast model"--Introduction.
