SPC rarity: Moderate Risk in two areas...

#1 Postby CrazyC83 » Thu Jun 22, 2006 1:05 pm

Moderate risk of severe weather issued by the SPC for both the Ohio Valley and the High Plains area. Not a great tornado risk though.

Very strong tornadic thunderstorm near Mexico, MO. Radar estimates of 2" hail and dbz is topping out at +70dbz. This storm had strong rotation with it the past few minutes, enough to warrant a TOR.

It's not a rarity per se for a moderate risk in areas like the OH Valley or High Plains.

No, but it is rare to see two distinct areas under such. I can't remember the last time it happened for separate systems.

Yes, and all but 9 states of the 50+Puerto Rico have either a warning or advisory! Busy weather day on the mainland.

It allows you to download a free trial, but it only works for 30 days before you have to pay for the software.

Crazy....sorry for not replying. I didn't see the question :) He's right, it's GRLevel3. There is a 30 trial, then it's $80 for the program. I HIGHLY recommend it. I've been a user since before it was available to the public. The trial version does NOT have all the features that the purchased version has. Once you purchase it, you'll get access to the Owner's Forum where you can download the latest version and updates.

I am a registered, paid user of the software. I HIGHLY recommend it, as well. This software leaves the closest competition in the dust!! :D

Could someone explain to me the differences between GRLevel3 and GRLevel2? Thanks.

GRLevel3 is all you need for the average to advanced user. It has 4 angles of radar tilt. GRLevel2 has many more levels of radar tilt and is pretty much for professionals or VERY advanced amateurs who wants a much more in depth analysis of a storm. Level 3 data is free from the National Weather Service and you do not need any kind of subscription. Level 2 data needs a subscription, such as Allisonhouse, to receive the data.

Like I said, for the average to advanced user, GRLevel3 is perfect. I would only recommend GRLevel2 to those who really knows and understands radar data.

We definately got nailed in the last 24 hours. Well over 4" of rain here at my house. Does anyone know where I can find a 24 hour radar loop so I can see the lines that went through??
