The relative importance of various environmental parameters in determining orographic precipitation patterns in the Lago Maggiore region in the southern part of the European Alps is investigated. We examine 58 long‐lasting and widespread orographic precipitation events corresponding in total to 106 days of rainfall. The mesoscale winds are estimated by means of Doppler velocity radar measurements; air‐mass stability is computed from both radiosoundings and pairs of ground stations located at different heights. High‐quality radar‐derived rain rates at the ground are used to characterize the precipitation field.
