I would like to introduce a precip type that most of us have observed, but has not been categorized. I call it "sain." It is hard to see unless you are driving. When sain hits the windshield it splats like a slushy rain or snowflake. It exist in a narrow transition zone, but can last for hours. The Friday night early Saturday event looks like a rain/sain mix. If the Hatteras Low jogs NW, wetsnow may mix in with higher precip rates. How pathetic is that? Long range still has cold air lurking North of the metro. Individual wave amplification and confluence will eb and flow. We are still entering, "primetime."
