A snow flurry is a light snowfall that results in little or no snow accumulation. The US National Weather Service defines snow flurries as intermittent light snow that produces no measurable precipitation (trace amounts). [1] In contrast, bursts of snowfall that do result in measurable snow accumulation are called snow showers. [2]
Convective rain and light precipitation are the result of large convective clouds, for example cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus clouds. In the initial stages of this precipitation, it generally falls as showers with a smaller area and a rapidly changing intensity.
Or remain as snow showers, or flurry, if the temperature remains below freezing. [5] On the other hand, raindrops might form in a strong updraft in a convective cloud, even at temperature below freezing in the cloud (Supercooling) and freeze later, giving ice pellet showers. [6] Finally, droplets can form and fall in an above freezing layer in ...
A few snow showers look possible between 8 PM and 2 AM. The chance is low, only 20%, and it won’t be enough to cause any issues. If we do see snow showers they’ll likely be brief and light.
Snow showers could come to Louisville on Monday, with accumulations of less than 1 inch expected for much of the metro area, according to the National Weather Service.
Britons brace for heavy and ‘possibly thundery downpours with hail’
Snow accumulation on ground and in tree branches in Germany Snow blowing across a highway in Canada Spring snow on a mountain in France. Classifications of snow describe and categorize the attributes of snow-generating weather events, including the individual crystals both in the air and on the ground, and the deposited snow pack as it changes over time.
Graupel (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ p əl /; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩] ⓘ), also called soft hail or hominy snow or granular snow or snow pellets, [1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets in air are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of crisp, opaque rime.
