Abstract: By using conventional meteorological data, automatic station data and doppler radar observation data, a strong convective weather were analysed at night on July 28, 2014 to early in the morning of July 29 in the middle part of ordos city. The results showed: the severe convective weather occurred in the interaction between the upper trough and low-rise shear, better moisture conditions and convective instability conditions promoted development of strong convective weather process. The results showed through the analysis of Doppler radar characteristic: the strong convective weather appeared more than 58 dbz strong echo area and more than 63 dbz strong echo center in combination reflectivity CR figure; the radial velocity V figure showed cyclonic convergence in the the low-level formation of severe convective, upwind in the middle-low formation of severe convective, the anticyclonic divergence in a high level formation of severe convective; Strong echo area and VIL center had a good corresponding relation on the location; the change of the VIL provided effective information to judge the growth of the storm of hail and drop zone; The hail index was of great help to forecast the prohability of hail and drop zone; Storm track index had good pointing meaning for judgment to the direction and orientation of severe convective system.
