Abstract:Conventional meteorological data, ERA5 reanalysis data, wind profile radar data, and forecast products from four numerical models (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, China Meteorological Administration Mesoscale Model, China Meteorological Administration Global Data, and China Meteorological Administration - Southern Region - 9 km resolution) were used to analyze the causes of the false alarm of heavy rainfall in the northeastern Guangxi region on the night of May 26, 2024. Results show that (1) on the night of May 26, the northeastern Guangxi region had the synoptic background and energy conditions for heavy precipitation, but the rapid eastward movement of the upper - level short - wave trough led to insufficient dynamic uplift, with no deep ascending motion formed; (2) the wind speed divergence in the southwestern jet stream at 850 hPa led to insufficient low - level water vapor convergence, preventing the development of discrete convective cells into a large - scale strong convective system; (3) The forecasting performance of various models in this process was poor. The three mesoscale models—CMA-MESO, CMA-GD, and CMA-SH9—all showed significant discrepancies from the actual conditions in their forecasts of echo intensity and rainfall intensity in the northeastern Guangxi region on the night of the 26th. Forecasters relied on the circulation pattern forecasts from the ECMWF model, leading to an overestimation of the depth of the upper-level shortwave trough and an overestimation of the southward movement speed of the low-level shear line and boundary layer front.
