Despite the increased realism of convective-allowing Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) forecasts, their accuracy has not improved as expected, especially for quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF). Many factors can account for the poor QPF skill, from intrinsic predictability limitations to shortcomings of the evaluation method. Given the complexity of precipitation processes, more effort is needed to understand their predictability.In this thesis, data from NOAA’s Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT) forecasting Spring Experiments of 2008-2013 are analyzed to study precipitation predictability at the mesoscale. This unique data set, consisting of high-resolution (4-km grid spacing) ensemble precipitation forecasts covering most of the Co...
