Kelly, I assume you know that you are the "bullseye" because the radar is right from KFDM-TV 6, right there in Beaumont.

I found this on this site..... Doppler Weather Radar Overview.....

Birds and insects

8.11.2. The identification of insects can be difficult, except in extreme cases such as a locust swarm. However, bird flocks produce a strong signal for the radar. The echo will expand outward into a ring, as the birds fly out towards their feeding areas. At night the process may reverse as the birds return.



The KFDM-TV 6 Doppler Radar now says (at 4:20 am CST): "Due to technical difficulties, the KFDM Doppler Radar is temporarily unavailable."

That's the biggest eye I ever seen that's considered devoid of convection, hehehe. Hopefully we see some real returns in the next day or two with severe wx and torrential rains.

Speaking of which, I can't wait to see what a doppler would look like in clear air mode with tons of cicadas roaming around. This year is the year of the 17 year cicada or what some folks call the locust. I wonder if that could be radar detected in clear air mode. It may not be much difference, but heck just an observation.
