Woah

Ok who stole my reflectivity. Give it back.

 

[Ebaad Jaffery]

The beam height from KFWS is 12.2 kft and from and 8.4 kft from KSHV

Seriously the sulphur springs velocity couplet is getting very intense, a tornado maybe drop any minute if not down already.

Sulphur Bluff TX storm looks like an imminent significant tornado.

 

[Maxis_s]

Pretty sure KFWS's radar is malfunctioning, at least on GR2Analyst. Can someone else confirm if this is happening to them?
Velocity isn't updating anymore and reflectivity is suddenly cutoff.

 

[Ebaad Jaffery]

Given the lack of proper radar coverage I'd honestly call it radar-confirmed solely due to the intense rotation signature. It's also in a semi-populated area; not as rural as other parts of TX.

Working fine for me

Turn on maximum value trail. It fixed it for the time being.

KSHV is also malfunctioning. Opened a new instance of GR2Analyst and I'm getting the same thing.
Is this happening on other radar programs, or are all of the radars malfunctioning?

Didn’t need to wait long at all I see, this is what happens when stream-wise helicity is high.

 

[Kds86z]

Didn’t expect this In Texas

[UpperLevelLOL]

Oh man we are off and running.


And why does it seem like all these events this week are happening in radar holes?!

I checked RadarOmega and RadarScope, and they're both working well (at least for me, anyway).

That is a large area of high VTP's

where do you find this map at?

I'm probably gonna eat crow on my take from... literally 33 minutes ago. Events that have a quick transition into excrement getting real are always big red flags to me in terms of big days.

EDIT: Forgot I shouldn't curse, but the forum caught me lol

RadarScope is working fine for me, I just checked.
Must be a GR2Analyst error for some reason, probably has to do with the Iowa State servers.

Northeast of Little Rock, AR.

Not to derail this thread, but the radar holes in Arkansas/Louisiana/MS delta are straight up pathetic and unacceptable for 21st century weather. Way too many in some of the most active regions in the country.
