I'm having a complete brain fart rn and can't think of the name of this. What do you call the one radar thing that shows precipitation and stuff and is how you see debris balls (not reflectivity) and are there any free apps that give you that
Well, it sure got hot in South Dakota today! I live in NE SD, mand in my city, at about 5pm, it was 86 degrees F. Yes! FINALLY!
Unfortunately next week starting on Tuesday we're expecting rain all day, wind, and temps back down to around the 40's. Ugh!
I saw somewhere a while back that one meaning of wytch was a cold weather (I think autumn/fall) storm. I have tried to look for it but can't find it anymore. I was wondering if it was true at least to a point?
Edit: a redditor thankfully pointed out the spelling mistake. I meant witch, not wytch
Are there any apps that show things other than reflectivity, like velocity and rotation and other things like that, that are free
This storm started at 5:08p and became severe warned at 5:12p

short & relaxing montage of lightning I’ve managed to capture on footage! ⛈️
I live in the NE part of Vermont, our lovely radar site, KCXX, is a giant void. I cannot accurately read anything east of it. Radaromega is what I am using, I could use MRMS but I cannot accurately depict what is in the atmosphere(hail, heavy precip, etc.).
Anything else I can use on desktop/mobile?
I took another better photo but my phone didn't save it for some reason
As we get into tornado season, I wanted to put together a resource for those traveling across Tornado Alley. As always, if you plan to travel check with the Storm Prediction Center and local National Weather Service (NWS)offices to prepare yourself. Things to check include daily outlooks, Mesoscale Discussions (MD) Area forecast discussions (AFD) (Example - Wichita AFD) any watches and warnings in the area. Watches are issued by the SPC, whereas warnings are issued by individual NWS offices. (A watch means conditions are possible, and warning means conditions are happening.) If you're on the road and looking for a good radar app, it's worth it to invest in something like Radarscope or RadarOmega. They cost about $10 for the base app and are well worth it. (Short video on How to read radar.) Always heed EAS warnings and shelter appropriately. In the event you need to seek shelter, here is a list of Public Storm Shelters(Please note, the Kansas State Turnpike is currently phasing out its toll booth storm shelters with the introduction of cashless tolling.)
Always remember- never shelter under an overpass, and turn around don't drown! Stay safe out there.
My family and I are on a cruise back from Bermuda. My sister gets seasick easily and is getting anxious about this storm we are heading into. We even had to leave Bermuda a day early to avoid this storm, according to the captain. Can anyone let us know what we can expect ?
TIA !
