Are they also putting snow in the WSW for Fort Worth and Dallas? The WSW areas have mostly less sleet and about the same ice precip expectations as the WWA areas on the NWS FWD website
It will be hard for snow to form with precip starting in the air near 50 degrees above D-FW at 5000-6000 ft above the surface. The rain would fall into a sub-freezing layer and reach the ground as sleet or freezing rain.
I was just wondering why there's more precip in WWA areas rather than in the WSW areas. I know snow's basically impossible to form right now since the warm air's trapped above the surface so I was confused as to why WWA areas have more sleet and FZRA.
