I have to guess it's coming your way, there is rain mixed in here but mostly giant fat flakes. I'm also at about 550 elevation so that might have something to do with it.

Nice to see some other northern Balt (and PA) folks in my neck of woods do exist Been a lurker for many years, since the extent of my meteorological knowledge came from a handful of classes in flight school 20 years ago. It's amazing what a few miles and a couple hundred feet of elevation can do. My wife said that it was just plain rain south of Hereford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 What's with the heavy line of returns from DC back towards Charlottesville? Is that sleet in the mid-levels that's melting at it gets to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a point where they are melting and get coated in water so the radar sees them as fat raindrops which increases the reflectivity. Bright banding. In more stratiform precip it shows up in a circle because the radar is hitting it at the same height, but in this case everything is moving and changing so it is more of a line.
