Of course, going along with this, is the idea that the radar only sees the hail as it is hailing. Since the hail started over me, I guess I don't get any warning, despite my best efforts. It's also possible that the radar didn't catch the hail until it hit here because, well, there's mountains in my backyard. Yay for live meteorology! Lots of weather still kicking up in the area.

Pea sized hail

Not too bad here in Lafayette. It rained for awhile but no hail. Looks like it died right after baseline reservoir.
ReplyDeleteBenet just found out that channel 7 has an interactive radar, and it looks much better than the NWS radar. You can check it out at http://www.thedenverchannel.com/interactiveradar/index.html
Thanks Brent! This radar looks way ghetto compared to channel 7! I will definitely make the switch. Rumor has it, the Denver radar will be the first to switch over to a new system, which will be AMAZING. I think it might be happening in August. Maybe they'll improve their graphics after that?
