abstract = "Rainstorms were observed in Sao Paulo State, Brazil (53oW-44oW;
20oS-25oS) during 27-28 September 2015. This was the second event
of simultaneous strong storms in September 2015, but with smaller
scope compared to that in 7-8 September 2015. Even thus, the
impact was harmful in many regions of Sao Paulo State. In this
paper the atmospheric conditions responsible for the intense
rainfall and their social consequences were analyzed. The results
showed that the storms affected most of Sao Paulo State causing
floods and threw down trees, affecting the distribution of
electric energy. The cause of the intense rainfall was a strong
squall line moving from Parana State to Sao Paulo State. Strong
divergence at high levels over the region of the squall line was
responsible for the severe weather conditions. The WRF model was
used to simulate the severe weather conditions on 27-28 September
2015. The results showed that model simulations and observations
are in a good agreement indicating that the model may be an
important tool to be used to forecast severe weather events in
future. The use of WRF model for theses purposes forms part of a
co-operative project between National Institute for Space Research
(INPE) institution and Energisa Power Company aimed to mitigate
the effects of adverse weather conditions.",
