tmagan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Now lets get one in the Great Texas Radar Hole.... How about far northern Missouri, far northeastern Texas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 How about far northern Missouri, far northeastern Texas? Yes please on the far northern Missouri. That's a dangerous hole with atleast two tornadoes that did damage in the last ten years that were not seen or warned because of the radar hole there.

Stebo Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 3 Radar holes needing fixed, NE Texas, Northern MO/Southern IA, and Central Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 3 Radar holes needing fixed, NE Texas, Northern MO/Southern IA, and Central Michigan. + E Ctrl TX (Houston Co), S Ctrl MO, western OK Panhandle, and probably many more that I can't remember off the top of my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 + E Ctrl TX (Houston Co), S Ctrl MO, western OK Panhandle, and probably many more that I can't remember off the top of my head The first 2 yes, the last one is kind of no man's land plus I thought Amarillo caught a lot of that area?

SEMIweather Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 NW Ohio is somewhat of an overlooked radar hole IMO...Bowling Green for example is about 80 miles away from the nearest radar. Personally due to the frequency of severe storms I feel that NE Missouri is the one that needs to get a new radar first...one around Kirksville would be perfect.

Clayton, NM to Springfield, CO to Cimarron City, OK area, I mean-- would've been useful for the Campo and the May 23rd tornadofest last year.

True, but it just isnt as densely populated as the others, as much as it would be great for chasers the justification compared to other areas just isn't there. SEMIweather is correct, Toledo area down to Bowling Green is in a bad hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.B. LaForce Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That radome is like a fricken puzzle...get almost all the way done: "dam**t Frank, your making an oval!" Obviously its a lot easier than it prolly looks, pieces numbered, etc, but try doing that without instructions and labeled pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Too bad I'm leaving just before getting to benefit from it. How about Central Minnesota Central South Dakota Central Kansas West Texas East Texas The Arklamiss West Central Alabama Northern Missouri Northern Wisconsin Southeast Oklahoma Southeast Missouri How about Central Oregon (Bend/Redmond) South-Central Oregon Coast (Newport/Coos Bay) I'm pretty sure the Bend/Redmond area in Oregon is by far the most populous region with no radar coverage: http://www.cimms.ou.edu/~jzhang/radcov/US_lamb.radcov_10kmagl.gif http://www.cimms.ou.edu/~jzhang/radcov/US_lamb.radcov_5kmagl.jpg http://www.cimms.ou.edu/~jzhang/radcov/US_lamb.radcov_3kmagl.jpg <--- Black areas here are probably most important http://www.cimms.ou.edu/~jzhang/radcov/US_lamb.radcov_1kmagl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMIweather is correct, Toledo area down to Bowling Green is in a bad hole. The fact Toledo is in a radar hole is a giant joke and they definitely need to put one in our area. It's frustrating to constantly flip back and forth between IWX and CLE to get the most accurate reads and they aren't even that good. Plus the main reason it needs one for sure is the fact that this area is so much heavier population wise than any other one. About a million people live in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHSnow Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Erie, PA is another radar hole. It's on the fringe of CLE, BUF, and PBZ radars. Only heavy, high-topped precip is picked up in that area and it's usually distorted. Low-topped events, like LES events, are completely missed. That's why you'll see national radar on TWC and it'll look like it's not snowing in northwest PA but Erie and Meadville will be reporting +SN. A radar in Erie would definitely help with the forecasting of LES events by extending coverage to the LES belt counties like Ashtabula, Erie, Crawford, Mercer, Jefferson, and Forest, where there currently is no coverage during such events (except in extraordinary instances where the cloud tops are high enough, which only occurs with a Huron connected band [and even then the intensity is way underestimated]).

SEMIweather is correct, Toledo area down to Bowling Green is in a bad hole. Yeah... a generally overlooked area as well. Although severe t-storms aren't as frequent here, it's still a pain. The fact Toledo is in a radar hole is a giant joke and they definitely need to put one in our area. It's frustrating to constantly flip back and forth between IWX and CLE to get the most accurate reads and they aren't even that good. Plus the main reason it needs one for sure is the fact that this area is so much heavier population wise than any other one. About a million people live in that area Yeah, its frustrating when IWX/DTX usually have better radar views of any storms from Defiance into BG/Toledo, even though we're in CLE's CWA.
