Which form of precipitation is likely to occur when a layer of air with temperature above freezing overlies a subfreezing layer near the ground?
freezing rain. hail is caused by gusts of air repeatedly blowing precipitation back into the atmosphere, where it acquires a new layer of H2O. so in this case it is not likely to occur.

What type of precipitation would likely be falling from cumulus clouds with a ground air temperature of 14C?
zero degrees Celsius is freezing, so anything above it would be rain
What is rain freezing temperature?
Liquid does not freeze unless the temperature is 32 degrees or less, whether it is freezing rain, snow, or sleet. The difference in what falls from the sky (snow or freezing rain) depends on where the freezing temperature is located. For example, if the temperature on the ground is 32 degrees or less, but the air temperature is warmer then 32 degrees, then the precipitation will come down as rain UNTIL it hits the ground or an object, then it freezes. If the ground and everything above the ground is 32 degrees or below, then the precipitation will come down as snow.
What types of precipitation is most likely to occur during the summer?
Rain is the most likely type of precipitation to occur in the summer.
Which form of precipitation is likely to occur when a layer of air with temperature above freezing overlies a subfreezing layer that is near the ground?
Sleet
What type of precipitation occurs when it is above freezing?
Sleet
Why is rain the most common type of precipitation?
Virtually all precipitation actually originates as snow in the cold air high above the ground, but since most parts of the world are above freezing at ground level, that snow will usually melt before it reaches the ground. The only other type of precipitation associated with warm weather is hail, but hail requires a strong thunderstorm.
What form of precipitation will fall when the air temperature is above freezing?
Rain.
Explain why condesation may occur when moist air rises?
The formation of precipitation may occur at temperatures above or below freezing. Precipitation that is formed in temperatures entirely above freezing is called warm precipitation; cold precipitation involves ice at some stage of the process.

At what temperature does rain convert to snow?
Most precipitation that reaches the ground actually begins as snow high in the atmosphere. These snow flakes develop somewhere above the freezing level where the air temperature is less than 32 F and begin to fall toward the earth as snow. If ground temperature is above 32 F( the freezing level must be located somewhere above the ground). The falling snow passes through the freezing level into the warmer air, where it melts and changes to rain before reaching the ground.
What tool would a meteorologist use to learn precipitation will be rain or snow?
A thermometer, because if you are looking for precipitation, if it is above freezing, it will be rain, and if it is below freezing, it will be snow. Hope I answered your question :)

What kind of precipitation would occur if the temperature was above freezing?
ummm snow stupid
