Localized, band-shaped heavy rainfall was observed over the Niigata-Fukushima area on July 13th 2004 and the over Fukui area on July 18th 2004. Both areas are located on the Japan-Sea side of the Japan Islands. These heavy rainfall events were a result of an intensification of convective instability over the Baiu frontal zone, induced by the inflows of low-level humid air and middle-level dry air. The middle-level air was considerably warm, not colder than the surrounding air. This indicates that the formation factors of heavy rainfall should be examined using convective instability, rather than potential instability.<BR>Numerical simulations using a cloud-resolving model with a horizontal grid of 1.5 km were carried out in an attempt to reproduce these heavy rainfall events. The Niigata-Fukushima heavy rainfall was reproduced well, while the Fukui heavy rainfall was not. This failure of the Fukui case could be the result of the uncertain analysis of the wind field over the Sea of Japan that determined the movement of low-level humid air. edevelopment of new observation systems over the sea, where upper-air sounding is seldom operated, are required to improve heavy rainfall predictions and to prevent such failures.
