PREDICTIVE HAIL AND LIGHTNING ICONS

The hail prediction algorithm analyzes 3D weather data along with
•
temperature data to predict cells likely to be hail producers.
The lightning prediction algorithm is similar to that for hail prediction,
•
but uses a slightly different reference altitude and dBZ threshold.
There is very good correlation between lightning and hail predicted by
•
the RDR-4000 and that detected by ground-based systems.
Predicted Lightning actually provides a leading indicator of future
•
lightning.
