What type of weather should you anticipate if the TAF contains the code RASN?
Refer to figure.
- RA = Rain
- SN = Snow
- RASN = A combination of the two → rain and snow mixed, commonly referred to as sleet.
"Drizzle and mist": These are abbreviated as DZ (drizzle) and BR (mist). RASN indicates heavier, more complex precipitation.
"Rain and Stratonimbus": "Stratonimbus" is not a standard meteorological term. Likely meant Nimbostratus, which is a rain-bearing cloud, but TAFs do not use cloud type names like this in weather codes.
"Relative Atmosphere Stability Normal": This is not a real meteorological acronym, just a made-up phrase that coincidentally matches "RASN".
