Examination of the early radar echo histories of several vigorous, cumulus clouds in northeast Colorado and northwest Kansas, with sensitive, dual-polarization radar, reveals the formation of millimeter-sized water drops at about the same time that the conventional, first precipitation echo (from ice) forms aloft. The early, positive ZDR values appear in the vicinity of the 0°C level (the radar data do not specify height accurately) and soon extend both above and below it. Positive ZDR is found within and to the upwind side of the updraft, separate from the conventional first precipitation echoes, which appear first at higher altitude, generally downwind of the updraft core, and have no significantly positive ZDR. Big, liquid drops were not expected this early in the formation of continental cumulus. The early presence of supercooled water drops larger than cloud droplets may be a significant factor in the glaciation of these clouds. The kind of early radar coverage illustrated here would be a pr...
