Chinook

Hurricane Lala at 0045z and 0605z from Aug 19 (that is, 0045z from almost 24 hours ago)

Here is an example of the three-body scatter spike, essentially a form of bad radar data. The radar bounces off the large hail, and possibly back to the ground, back to the hail, and back to the radar. The DBZ values are up above 70 for a couple of pixels

long-lived Typhoon Dolphin approaches China last night (that is, daytime, for that time zone,) with something like category 1, 85mph (75 kt) The HWRF shows this was a very low pressure, so maybe winds of cat 2 or better were gusts?
