Weather Events
Since the nature of the clouds in the Convergence Line is convective, it is clear that also the corresponding weather events are similar to the ones connected to other types of convective events.
This conceptual model can be used to detect "small" showers, which do not result in large areas of heavy precipitation, but can result in localised heavy precipitation in the mountains. Thunderstorms can also appear in cases with more developed single cells.
