Ian Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What would be causing the random fist of sleet there to the SE of DC, when the main mix line is down nearer Richmond? I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe it will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe it will pass. From that picture I posted it almost seemed like a little pocket of air got "roped" off or something and drifted. I wonder if it's snow south of that sleet area.

Ian Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The latest run. Has the mix entering DC within an hr, then straddling the fall line before retreating back SE. I guess we'll see. The HRRR has been great this winter. It's possible it will just nose in then better air starts pushing back in from the w/nw.. getting away from sleet can be tricky.

GATECH Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe it will pass. Seems to be rate related. The sleet "fist" corresponds with reduced rates. Currently under about 20 DBZ, and hence the sleet. Will see what happens in the next few minutes with the next heavy band. Hopefully the higher rates will punch through the warm layer causing the sleet. Will know in about 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
