You basically answered your own question. The dry air evaporates the early precip before it reaches the ground.   Depending on the rate of precip and the dryness of the column, the process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.

 

 

Disclaimer: I am not a meteorologist and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn express last night.

 

I wonder what the dewpoint needs to be at before moisture starts to fall to ground level. Is there a magic number? BTW...thank you for answering. I thought the front of this website said people interested in the weather were welcome. Maybe that was a different site. Or maybe it's because I'm female.  <_<

You don't have to throw it at us in BIG DEEP RED SORROW! lol

 

I'm sorry, but I thought that was the best color choice.

Please, for all that's good, don't leave me out of your maps, too. Always the step-child down here. :/

I got a chihuahua in this fight. :D

 

I apologize, Peach.  You're correct, you should be inside the red circle of death too.

Winston-S     no snow

ale                 red paint

That's about spot on!  Remember that there is a tight gradient with this thing as we go from east to west.  :)

The dew point is derived from temperature and humidity.  Air can hold more moisture as its temperature increases. The dew point is simply the temperature at which the air reaches 100% of the moisture it can hold.

 

I don't think being female will cause you to have less responses.  After all, 95% of the forum is made up of horn dogs of various ages.  :)

Instead of getting upset about your post getting deleted because you answered your own question, why don't you check out the newbie information thread for some learning materials.

Winter Storm WARNINGS issued for most of the Florida Panhandle... Now that's something you don't see every day.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I went to Destin last year to go to the beach and now they are looking at a wintry mix there. Pretty crazy!

You're pretty grumpy for someone who is about to get their first winter storm in 123 years.  :)

The Nam goes drier and the GFS goes wetter. Nice.

 

Did the NAM turn out appreciably drier for anywhere except the Gulf Coast? IIRC it was pretty much the same if not a little wetter for western and central NC/SC.

Yeah that's totally it. Everyone knows the motto of AMWX is "Women Can't Do Science." :facepalm:

We have a female moderator for Christ's sake lol.

Major Winter Storm on tap for Eastern North Carolina, impacts look greater than 12-26-2010, I don't think coastal sections will rival 1989, but this is a ~1 in 10 year event for folks east of 95. We are likely sacrificing the next 2 or 3 winters, oh well, we should be back in play in time for an epic solar min.

The Midol isn't enough around here..told you more serious meds will be needed. I think I will add Ambien to that list as well. :lol:
