gritsnc Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Great job looks about perfect, especially to NO SNOW circle!!! lol Thanks, Frosty! 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. I apologize, Peach. You're correct, you should be inside the red circle of death too. So correct me if Im wrong here: Winston-S no snow ale red paint m blizzard 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaStorm Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapelhillwx Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 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. I wonder what the dewpoint needs to be at before moisture starts to fall to ground level.

WeatherNC Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
