| Summary: | 12 UTC 2 June for 12-h forecast. The simulation agreed well among the three different simulations, the appeared to be most suitable for the simulation of behavior of the simulations was strongly dependent on boundary generated from the earlier convection seemed boundary, generated by earlier convection, produced careful comparison between the simulations and convective outflow boundaries, this study tries to convective rain, temperature gradient, and pressure dimensional nonhydrostatic mesoscale model (MM5) to disparate cumulus parameterization schemes, and does a documented in numerous other studies, the outflow documented. Because of the significant impact of the dry line and outflow boundaries are carefully examine the sensitivity of the PSU/NCAR three Fritsch- Chappell, and Grell schemes. The model gradient associated with tee convective outflow were increasingly more supportive of severe convection. Of meso-[] scale features. mesoscale features such as the outflow boundary, N and 102[] W with 27 km grid spacing, and starts at observations. This study tries to understand the observed in West Texas between Lubbock and Amarillo of the event, performs model simulations with three On 2 June 1995, many supercede thunderstorms were graphics. outbreak. Particularly, mesoscale features such as the parameterization. Despite the limitation of evidence parameterizations. It seemed that the different results showed that, even though the general features schemes used in this study include Kain-Fritsch, sequence of events which preceded the severe storm simulation has a 67 x 67 grid domain centered at 35[] somewhat different among the different cumulus suggested in this study, the Kain-Fritsch scheme supercedes. This study presents observational features the choice of cumulus parameterization scheme. The the components constructing each cumulus the storms, those which crossed a particular outflow to play a important role in producing tornadic under the synoptic and mesoscale environment which was violent tornadoes near Friona and Dimmitt, Texas.
