CSU-CHILL Casebook: 9 May, 2003

Widespread rain developed during the afternoon hours of 9 May,2003. Bright band echo patterns were well defined in both the higher elevation PPI scans and the RHI scans conducted by the CSU-CHILL radar. (See the VCHILL links below). During the later evening hours, surface observations indicated that wet snow mixed in with the rain.

-Widespread precipitation developed during the late morning hours as a strong upper level trough moved over the area.  Small / soft hail was observed in some of the more intense convective precipitation cores.  A series of RHI sweeps were done through an area of thunderstorm outflow that was approaching the CHILL site at 1627:11 UTC.  These RHI's contain the elevated head circulation and the near-surface wind speed maximum within the cold airmass that are typical of relatively dense, cold air outflows.
