| + | This is the surface layer for upper elevations, mainly in the mountains, and the lower layer for lower areas. This layer is the deciding factor in what precipitation will be occurring. If the temperature in this layer is below freezing, and is below freezing through 850mb and above, and below 40F at the surface, then the precipitation will likely be snow. If the surface is warmer, than it will vary on humidity and precipitation rates. If this layer is above freezing, then the precipitation at the surface could be freezing rain, if it is freezing at the surface, or rain if it isn't. | ||
