Is side lobe just a software issue or an RDA issue within that site? Seems to happen alot over the last 2-3 years in particular.

This is just a fact of life when you're transmitting electromagnetic radiation and not hitting many targets with the main beam. Here is a generalization of the radar beam pattern.

Two-day contour on the latest 4-8 for 3/29-30. The latter is quite large. Discussion makes mention of an "all-hazards" threat (implicitly including tornadoes), which is rather unusual at this range.

Seems the operational GFS may be playing catch-up with this setup a bit, because while the last few runs do depict a trough in this timeframe, it doesn't appear exceptionally impressive to me at least compared to the mid-month system we just had.
