             abstract = "This study investigates an extreme rainfall event which occurred 
                         in Northern Brazil (NEB) between 20 and 30th 2017 May causing 
                         several deaths and making thousands homeless. Based on a suite of 
                         microphysics and planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes based on 
                         the WRF model, it is demonstrated that anomalous weather 
                         conditions are characterized by signifcant upward and eastward 
                         wind fow. Omega diferences with respect to climatological 
                         conditions showed values up to \− 0.04 Pa/s and wind up to 
                         68 m/s in consonance with higher precipitation in May in the NEB 
                         coast. The cumulative rainfall for 11 days was higher than 500 mm 
                         in some locations, as measured by weather stations. These 
                         conditions were simulated by the WRF model under diferent physics 
                         parameterization schemes. In total 24 experiments with WRF were 
                         implemented. Non-local PBL demonstrated better performance than 
                         the local PBL. Moreover, the rainfall was concentrated in small 
                         portions of the region, and the local scheme limited the WRF 
                         conditions to estimate the correct maximum precipitation location. 
                         The Morrison scheme performed better compared to the other 
                         schemes. Results presented here show that the correct choices of 
                         the microphysics and PBL parameterizations are fundamental to 
                         obtain good simulation/forecast, especially for extreme rainfall 
                         events. This study demonstrates that regional modeling is crucial 
                         to provide accurate information to forecasters and decision makers 
                         to plan actions which hamper catastrophic situations such as 
                         landslides and foods in high-risk regions.",
