Doppler radar imagery

Doppler radar imagery uses radio waves to detect and display weather patterns. It sends out signals that bounce off precipitation—like rain or snow—and then measures how the signals change when they return. This helps us see where storms are, how intense they are, and how they’re moving. The imagery can show different colors representing rain intensity or wind speed, allowing meteorologists to track storms and predict weather changes more accurately. It’s a vital tool for understanding weather conditions, especially during severe storms, providing clear visual information in real-time.
