That's the melting layer. Simply put, the further it grows outward, the further the mix line travels roughly. Weenies want it to contract. 

But again, a reminder: a final push of warm air was modeled tonight. Then it rapidly collapses.

That “ring” of lower correlation coefficient values reflect the melting layer. When the ring collapses towards the radar site, it indicates a lowering melting layer. When it expands that indicates a rising melting layer 

EDIt: corrected

Well “rapidly” is really the key we’re still figuring g out :lol:

Actually lower CC is your melting layer. Mixed precip has hydrometeors of different shapes/sizes so there is less “correlation”.
