Philly2034 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Does anybody know of a weather website/app that has precipitation type radar extrapolated into the future? I know that there are The Ultimate Weather App ($0.99), DarkSky ($3.99), and Radar Scope ($9.99), but these do not seem to have what I am looking for.

icebreaker5221 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Does anybody know of a weather website/app that has precipitation type radar extrapolated into the future? "Future radar" when rain is the only ptype has inaccuracies as is. Add in the additional uncertainty of evaporation/melting/freezing along a mixed precipitation boundary, and I doubt a future radar would be particularly useful. Your best bet would probably be to look at short-range mesoscale models e.g. the HRRR. Look for the row labeled "precip type": http://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/HRRR/Welcome.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersGrasp Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 RadarScope is the best by far, in my opinion. It does show precip type along with just about every other type of advanced radar. You can upgrade $10 annually for lightning data as well with 20 frames back. A+ app. However, as others have said, no app or site will show accurate future radar. RAP/HRRR models are great short range models to check out to try to predict it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QVectorman Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 This is the WAFB tv station app I found. It uses WSI's RPM model and you can pan all around the US. Unfortunately it only showed simulated radar out to 6 hours at most. Some days it only is run out to 4 hours ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I use the college of dupage site. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/ Nexrad sites and select the Hydrometer Classification from the side tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I use the college of dupage site. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/ Nexrad sites and select the Hydrometer Classification from the side tab. Ehh the Hydrometeor classification product leaves a lot to be desired sometimes. I find myself using correlation coefficient to observe mixing boundaries (where the CC drops down below 0.9) . It worked really well for the warm frontal snowfall that fell in KALB early on Monday and was spot on with the changeover from snow to sleet to rain. For a "future cast" you are better off looking at high resolution model output (4km NAM, 3km HRRR) which normally do a reasonable job. Many different web outlets output these products in real time (e.g. Penn State EWALL http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/HRRRNW_CUR/cloop.html) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
