Short summary
Representation of severe convection is a challenge for numerical weather prediction models. We show that an explicit stochastic convection initiation scheme, mimicking effects of initial convective cells, allows representation of the isolated bow echo, exposing its cold-pool-driven dynamics, formation of the rear inflow jet, and strong surface winds. The reconstruction delays the strongest gusts by almost an hour, and insufficiently represents continuous linear arrangement of convective cells.
