FewA National Weather Service convective precipitation descriptor for a 10 percent chance of measurable precipitation (0.01 inch). Few is used interchangeably with isolated.
VCP 11 provides better vertical sampling of weather echoes near the antenna and is usually preferred in situations where convective precipitation is within 60 nmi of the antenna. VCP 11 Volume Scan consists of 14 elevation angles (0.5 to 19.
Convective Precipitation occurs when solar radiation heats a small area of land, causing the air air above it to rise and form an unstable storm system.
CELL - A precipitation element, usually associated with convective precipitation such as thunderstorms. The term is also applied to an individual storm or weather system component as a low-pressure (or high-pressure) cell.

In spring, as cloud ceilings rise and convective precipitation becomes more frequent, we may see examples of Abraham's tree in Minnesota.
