What is with SHV only updating about half as often as other NEXRAD sites? I'm getting a scan every 6 minutes as opposed to one every 2-3.

It seems that they didn't activate the special scan modes (AVSET/SAILS/MRLE/etc.) for whatever reason(s). Hopefully this doesn't become a factor in leading to more injuries/deaths (knock on wood!)...

EDIT: Actually, it looks like they have been using those modes, but sometimes for whatever reasons they (seemingly) will be disabled, then re-enabled at seemingly random intervals. I've also seen that happen from time to time with other radars, and since I don't operate any of the radars myself I have no real explanation for it.

The storm nearing Carthage looks like it'll pass uncomfortably close to the south of said town.

This ongoing outbreak definitely caught me off guard despite the Enhanced Risk, I just got "that feeling" and happened to tune in at exactly the right time...

I got a similar feeling fairly early in the day, and started tracking not long before 3:00 PM.
