This radar will depict light to significant precipitation out to beyond 200 miles along with nighttime thermal inversions. Normally, under
a clear sky at night with high moisture content, strong thermal inversions will develop that would appear to look like rain echoes. These
inversion show up as false echoes and usually develop over the land aligned parallel to the coast
and near the major rivers. |
