The image shows the hourly time series (right to left) of the NAM's predicted snowfall (gray bars) for Davenport using the model's predicted snow ratio. Saturday afternoon, there is strong lift (red contours) in the atmosphere, the strongest of which is centered in the -12C to -18C temperature range known as the dendritic snow growth zone (purple/yellow contours).  When this occurs, it can sometimes lead to enhanced precipitation rates. This image is taken from BUFKIT, you can find out more about this program on The BUFKIT Warehouse website.
