WEATHER DOPPLER RADAR IN MOTION FULL
This view provides a full map view of all alert hazards (similar to WWA map). It will alert you to severe weather where ever you are in the world. High wave action, strong currents, and dangerous swimming conditions expected. This view is similar to a radar application on a phone that provides radar, current weather, alerts and the forecast for a location. The KLFY Weather App is the most advanced weather app you can have on your phone. View our Live Doppler 7 Max Cook County weather radar map for current. This view combines radar station products into a single layer called a mosaic and storm based alerts. This view provides specific radar products for a selected radar station and storm based alerts. Since hail can cause the rainfall estimates to be higher than what is actually occurring, steps are taken to prevent these high dBZ values from being converted to rainfall.This site is organized into views that provide relevant radar products and weather information for a common task or goal. Hail is a good reflector of energy and will return very high dBZ values. These values are estimates of the rainfall per hour, updated each volume scan, with rainfall accumulated over time. Depending on the type of weather occurring and the area of the U.S., forecasters use a set of rainrates which are associated to the dBZ values.

The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall. The value of the dBZ depends upon the mode the radar is in at the time the image was created. Notice the color on each scale remains the same in both operational modes, only the values change. A modern weather radar is mostly a Doppler radar that can detect the motion of rain droplets in addition to the intensity. This view is similar to a radar application on a phone that provides radar, current weather, alerts and the forecast for a location. The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75). This view combines radar station products into a single layer called a mosaic and storm based alerts.

One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales.

The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan.
