Radar Quality Map

Harvey · Mar 5, 2021

I always knew that radar didn't work as well far from the source, but I had no idea you could map it:

The Radar Quality Map is an NOAA product that indicates how accurate radar is in each location. Darker areas show the strongest signal.

So while Gore may truely be in the donut hole, it's also in a radar hole.

I'm trying to figure out how to use this thing to create some custom maps like that one, wnat to see the Cats and all of NY:

This one is accurate for CNY as watched it for years. CNY winter radar is important due to narrow bands affecting road travel.
Don’t know it's validity for Gore area.
1) Click triangle first to get history, 2) then zoom in or out with + or -, but you knew that.

I guess the thread title is misleading.

My map shows how well the radar illuminates specific areas. It shows where you can and can't count on the radar to accurately show snow and rainfall.

I assume that all radar in the US (like all weather data) has the same source. The US Gov't/NWS.

I’ve been using this radar this season and found it great. You can zoom in and see roads towns. Was nice for lake affect to see if Greek was getting hit.
