Anticyclones, Lee Troughs and Inverted Troughs * - In addition to cyclones and frontal boundaries, conditions associated with surface anticyclones can also lead to the development freezing rain. Three areas of freezing rain (shaded in orange below) are commonly observed in the vicinity of an anticyclone

Spiral Bands * - Radiating outward from the eye wall one can see a banded structure within the clouds. These clouds are called either spiral rain bands (or spiral bands). The image below is of a hurricane (called cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere).

Upper Air Soundings * - Soundings are the most important tool for identifying potential freezing rain regimes. Three types of soundings can lead to freezing rain and the most common consists of a shallow layer of cold air at the surface with a depth of about 600 meters (1,800 f...

Rain or Snow? * - Most precipitation that reaches the ground actually begins as snow high in the atmosphere. These snow flakes develop somewhere above the freezing level where the air temperature is less than 32 F (the dashed blue line), and begin to fall toward the earth...

Ice-Crystal Mechanisms * - Freezing rain can develop either through ice crystal processes or supercooled warm-rain processes. Ice crystals high in the atmosphere grow by collecting water vapor molecules, which are sometimes supplied by microscopic evaporating cloud droplets. In th...

Cold-Air Damming and Extended Lows * - Cold-air damming is common along the East Coast of the United States and occurs when a layer of cold air gets trapped between the coast and inland mountains. Freezing rain develops when warm oceanic air rises up and over the cold air, producing liquid pr...
