Glen Rose area, possible round 2 coming your way. Beware. I'm not a storm spotter is that a hook echo west of glen rose? i just mentioned that to my wife, looks like it to me. The velocity images are starting to show more shear there, too. Won't be surprised if it gets warned. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The velocity difference in advancing and retreating wind/whatever towards and away from the RADAR. When you see radar in velocity mode, green is moving towards the radar, red is moving away from. |

Yeah, lots of them chasers. Many of us don't use it because we have weirdo stalkers believe it or not. One cocksucker was calculating driving speeds etc, and making a big deal about it on social networks online. Another reason why I don't do the live video anymore as well. Weirdos complaining about traffic infractions among other things. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Wind is moving in one direction at 33kts, and wind very near it is moving in the opposite direction at 33kts. low Level means it is picked up in the 0.5 degree elevation sweep iirc. |

I used to do a lot of net control and it was handy. Out chasing I avail myself of McDonalds free wifi to look at Analyst and SimuAWIPS to determine where I want to be. I also have Level 3. Once I'm running, I just use Radar Scope on my phone. If I need to update my plan, I just find free wifi. |

This thread has the most spectacularly well defined hook formations and doppler rotation examples I have ever seen, and I've been watching tornados on radar every summer since my early childhood... These pics belong in a textbook.
