Since hail can cause the rainfall estimates to be higher than what is actually occurring, steps are taken to prevent these high dBZ values from being converted to rainfall. Hail is a good reflector of energy and will return very high dBZ values. These values are estimates of the rainfall per hour, updated each volume scan, with rainfall accumulated over time. Depending on the type of weather occurring and the area of the U.S., forecasters use a set of rainrates which are associated to the dBZ values. The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall. Our interactive map allows you to see the local & national. The value of the dBZ depends upon the mode the radar is in at the time the image was created. See the latest United States Doppler radar weather map including areas of rain, snow and ice. Notice the color on each scale remains the same in both operational modes, only the values change.

The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75). One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used.

Our Cape Weather dynamic interactive radar allows for an in-depth, full screen analysis of current, past, and future weather conditions. Explore current and future weather conditions to plan your day. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). is the official website for KSDK-TV, Channel 5, your trusted source. Browse current Iowa doppler radar weather and forecast conditions. "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. See for a more extensive discussion.The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan. Weather radars can also pick up returns from nearby objects on the ground (ground clutter) and flying insects.
Video switches every 15 seconds between Central and Eastern North Carolina, Wake County and Sandhills areas. So, rain will occur in some places (such as the western side of the Olympic Mountains) without it showing up on our loop. Livestream from WRAL's DUALDoppler5000 and Fayetteville Doppler radars. The beam can be blocked by mountains, and some areas are simply too far away from any radar. With the satellite images of Europe, you can see where the sun. The coverage of the Pacific Northwest by weather radar is by no means uniform. Weather Europe, Satellite Weather Europe, Weather Forecast, Rainfall, Clouds, Sun in Europe. Our loop shows the signals recorded by several radars in the northwest over the last several hours. High values of dbz (color scale to the right of the image) indicate large drops and heavy precipitation. Raindrops and snow produce reflections that become stronger as the size of the drop or flake increases.
Weather radars send out pulses of microwave energy and listen between the transmitted pulses for part of that the energy to be reflected back to the radar.
