Example of a very active cold front on 13 March 2026 compared with T+24 forecasts from Cy49 and its replacement Cy50 DT 00UTC 12 Mar 2026, VT 00UTC 13 March 2026.  Radar imagery shows line convection crossing England.  The diagrams show precipitation rates.  Naturally the peak rates which exceeded 50mm in reality are not identified, as they were too small scale for a 9km resolution model to pick up.  Convective precipitation in Cy49 falls immediately within the grid square.   Some of the convective precipitation in Cy50 is transferred to the broad scale scheme and advects with the ambient winds while falling to the surface.  Thus the convective precipitation is spread over several grid squares and therefore is shown as less intense.  There are hints in both model runs of more intense precipitation band associated with two cold fronts but not definitive in intensity nor location.
