SCAN
OVERVIEW:
|
1930
Z |
Cell
at 70km NNW of S-Pol is continuing to grow. Cell
now has +50dBz reflectivities.Looks to be moving southest, so will keep an eye on it. Jean reports that we
can see it visually from the radar site. 1930Z, Base reflectivity
|
|
2000
Z |
Begin Microphysical Scanning,
Switching to MicroNear90: Centered
on the the isolated cell at 330 deg. Dropping
unnecessary 26.4 deg scan to keep timing OK. 2000Z, Base reflectivity
|
|
2015
Z |
Switching to MicroFar90: MicroNear was a bit
much. Storm is weakening a bit I'd say. 2015Z, Base reflectivity
|
|
2030
Z |
Rotating
next PPI to 60 deg to cover new development near 70 deg and edcge of scope. Original storm perishing quickly, and this new cell has up to 60 dBZ. 2030Z, Base reflectivity
|
|
2100
Z |
End Microphysical Scanning, Switching
to ClimoFar: Storms moving westward, not eastward, today. There is some convection
moving in from over the high terrain. The PPIs were
scanning the lading edge of this stuff. So far, this day looks reasonably
promising. |
