...SLEET BEING REPORTED IN A FEW SPOTS...

SLEET FELL BRIEFLY HERE AT THE WEATHER OFFICE SHORTLY AFTER 5 PM...
AND WE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED SEVERAL REPORTS OF SLEET IN OTHER LOCATIONS
IN THE MID STATE. EVEN THOUGH SURFACE AIR TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE
40S. THE SLEET IS BEING CAUSED BY RAIN FALLING THROUGH MUCH DRIER
AIR IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. AS THE RAIN FALLS FROM
HIGHER LEVELS INTO DRIER AIR IT COOLS THE AIR MASS IN THE LOWER
LEVELS BELOW FREEZING BY WAY OF EVAPORATIONAL COOLING...THUS HELPING
TO FURTHER COOL THE AIR MASS IN THE LOWER LEVELS BELOW FREEZING...THUS
FORMING SLEET PELLETS OR ICE PELLETS.

WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY PROBLEMS ON ROADWAYS FROM THE SLEET
THIS EVENING. SLEET GENERALLY IS NOT AN ISSUED WHERE TREES AND
TREE LIMBS ARE OF CONCERN. SLEET CAN BE EASILY IDENTIFIED SIMPLY
BECAUSE IT BOUNCES ON IMPACT.
