A pretty strong hook too!

Question about GRLevel3 - does it only track storms in the US or does it cover other areas? I seem to be seeing a suspicious cell up in Canada too...

This is just the trial version I believe it has more features and does have international radar on it. I'll have to check on that for you.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

AT 902 PM EDT...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTED A TORNADO. THIS
TORNADO WAS LOCATED NEAR CRAWFORDSVILLE...MOVING SOUTHEAST AT 35 MPH.

I bet there is either a funnel cloud just above the ground or a tornado actually on the ground.

It is possible, but difficult, nearly impossible to do. It's meant for NWS site viewing, so it does have PR and Guam and such sites, and whatever NWS sites cover in Canada, but beyond that, no.

Thank you that is information for me as well.

No problem. If either of you have any other questions about GRLevel3, I'd be more than happy to answer them. I've had the full version for a while now, and have enjoyed it a lot.

[SouthFloridawx]

How do i do smoothing? LOL i can't figure it out and my brother downloaded grlevel3 and got it to do it but, doesn't remember how. LOL he doesn't know a lot about weather but, he said he liked the program and wanted to download it.

[WindRunner]

If your computer's graphics card can handle it, there should be a checkbox in the bar on the right that says smoothing. However, looking at your screenshots, yours is grayed out, which means you need a better graphics card to be able to do that.

[Windy]

Tornado should be on or crossing I-75 now. Still a pretty good BWER on the storm, though it might be cycling. Looks pretty HPish on radar. Very strong rotation on SRMV. Even popping a TVS signature. I'd be surprised if that wasn't tornadoing right now.

[SouthFloridawx]

That cell looks to be heading right for the radar site !!!

[simplykristi]

You mean I-65 or I-74?

Kristi

[CrazyC83]

I think he meant I-74. The tornado is almost tracking right along it.

[simplykristi]

OK I see that now. Thanks
