Okay I got curious. How can frozen precip occur in W NC 🏔️ w/ fully above 0C profile in #Ian?

A *very* dry layer b/w 800-600 mb enabled wet bulb temps to stay below freezing. Above, saturation+ascent produced precip falling into dry layer.
Sleet could survive at high elevation. https://t.co/pg9wWSEffw pic.twitter.com/2EPeRdCXxw
