FIGURE 4:Forecasted 24 hours cumulated precipitation for the 6th of November 1994.: Panels a) and b) are for the lower-resolution run F5-48 and the higher-resolution run S5-48, respectively, during the second 24 hours of the integrations.

Acknowledgments

Comparisons with observations have been possible also because data was kindly furnished by several Italian insitutions listed in the acknowledgments of Buzzi et al. (previous article).
