Abstract. On 20 August 2018 a flash flood affected the Raganello Creek (Southern Italy) causing 10 casualties. The rainfall event was so highly localized that the spatial coverage of rain gauges resulted inadequate to measure it, while radar products showed a storm cell with rain peaks of about 70–100 mm/h. This scientific report provides a preliminary hydro-meteorological analysis of the event and evaluates the forecasting skills of a system based on the WRF/WRF-Hydro models, using both one-way and fully-coupled approaches. First results show a satisfactory simulation of the event in terms of both rainfall and hydrological impact.

Abstract. On 20 August 2018 a flash flood affected the Raganello Creek (southern Italy) causing 10 casualties. The rainfall event was so highly localized that the spatial coverage of rain gauges were inadequate to measure it, while radar products showed a storm cell with rain peaks of about 70–100 mm h−1. This scientific report provides a preliminary hydro-meteorological analysis of the event and evaluates the forecasting skills of a system based on the WRF–WRF-Hydro models, using both one-way and fully coupled approaches. The first results show a reasonable simulation of the event in terms of both rainfall and hydrological impact.

Meteorological Analysis

On 12 September 1977, severe flash flooding in Kansas City, Mo., resulted in widespread damage and 25 fatalities. It was the worst flash flood of modern times in this area in terms of loss of life and damage. Meteorological analysis of the flood situation indicates the key ingredients for the unprecedented flooding were: 1) two heavy convective rain events occurring in essentially the same location within a 20 h period, and 2) the formation by the first storm system of a small-scale surface boundary wave that concentrated the low-level convergence over the Kansas City area for an extended period of time preceding the second event. Total rainfall amounts for the 24 h storm period were >16 inches (40 cm). Rainfall rates were as high as 8 inches (20 cm) in 4 h during the flooding on the evening of the 12th. Besides the conventional surface and upper air observational network, radar and satellite input were of significant value in analyzing the storm evolution.
