Cover Story: In late summer and autumn, Mediterranean coastal regions are regularly affected by small-scale, flood-producing convective systems. The complexity of mesoscale triggering mechanisms, related to low-level temperature gradients, moisture convergence, and topographic effects contributes to limit the predictability of such phenomena. In the present work, a severe convection episode which occurred in Cannes in October 2015 is investigated. The impact of model resolution as well as initial and boundary conditions on simulation is analyzed. Ingesting a high-resolution satellite-derived sea surface temperature field is proven to be beneficial especially when also associated with the most accurate lateral boundary conditions.
