OceanStWx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Would there be a reason not to have it running during a snow event? Might be a dumb question, but if it puts limitations on the other higher level scans...I would think it would be ok. SAILS only operates in VCP 12, which has added elevations in the lower levels for convective storm interrogation. The scan is also faster, so it puts stress on the radar. That and the fact that in synoptic events the extra elevations aren't as critical are usually the reasons why VCP 12 isn't used in the winter storms. There have been discussions though about creating new VCPs that have the added elevations, but a slower completion time so that it doesn't put as much stress on the radar itself. So conceivably it could be something that happens in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 It said dry conditions promote brown leaves. There are not an abundance over bright colors this season in our area. Yes there are some..but the dulls/browns/yellows are the norm Actually it said cool (but above freezing), sunny, and dry weather promotes sugars that produce the reds and purples. Drought on the other hand produces dull colors and early leaf drop. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sort of a sheared out system so if there is a lack of precip, it's not because of the "dry pattern." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like getting the extra slice for no other reason than the cool looking loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
