So that bright banding is actually having that signature precisely because it is the RN/SN line. When the beams of the radar hit the precipitation and bounce back the radar, the computer program interprets the precipitation intensity based on many things - one of them being density. Because the RN/SN line is switching from rain to frozen, the density peaks significantly. The radar is picking up both the rain and frozen precip and interprets this as much heavier precip. Kind of cool if you ask me, however, the cold air can't catch it because that is the cold air. 🥶🙂 Your explaination was far more elegant lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming this is because rain drops are slightly bigger and reflect with greater strength back toward the radar site? It can be quite tricky to see where the snow actually ends on radarscope sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue for today has been that late close up. The later the close off, the further N the hard hit becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some good snow out there in other bands but not that one. So I’m hoping for a close off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowed up here but that band may build back a bit for you to get dumped on for a while. looking out the window looks like 2-3 inches.. hard to tell with the blowing that’s occurred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just moved east of me on radar, but still snowing pretty good. Only thing that's really changed is the flake size so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
