Ok, letīs look at each point:

1) Crew decided to keep course going through WX.
2) Entered an unexpected WX condition.
3) Had pitotīs blocked.
4) Entered unusual attitude.
5) Stalled and descended at unusual attitude.
6) Eventually leveled (almost) and hit surface

1) Several possible reasons:
a) Radar in auto mode. The best is to adjust manually the antenna elevation to characterize better the pattern ahead.
b) Shadow from first CB area (as PBS suggested)
2) n/c
3) A fact
4) A very probable fact as per ACARS msgīs
5) The same of previous point
6) A fact

Finger crossing to locate FDR/CVR and to be readable.

Thanks for replying, Rgds
