I forgot how uncomfortable warm/humid morning runs are until this morning... and it was only around 65/64. Those 75+/75+ morning runs coming later are going to suck for sure!

GATECH Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Ugh. Feeling like mid July out there, 70 with a dew of 66. Anyone know what’s wrong with the LWX radar? Hasn’t updated since around midnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t updated since around midnight. Not sure why LWX is down, but for the record -- I don't care for the new NWS radar. It takes forever to load and I just don't like how it displays. I don't mean to sh*t on others' hard work, as I know they had to replace the legacy radar with something, but.... I now generally prefer to use Windy.com for radar if I'm at the laptop or, of course, Radarscope on mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when @Jebman first brought the new radar up as a bad upgrade earlier this year. You also don't get as much detail on their maps either. The returns seem to be in a grid, so you don't see any smoothing or contouring of where the actual rain lines are. Kind of resembles Minecraft. :-( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a fan of the National mosaic display, but they even messed that up and its unusable now. They should have a ‘classic’ feature, kinda like when they rolled out new coke...now I have dated myself. found the problem with the LWX radar... NOUS61 KLWX 040416 FTMLWX Message Date: May 04 2021 04:16:10 There is a pedestal problem with the WSR-88D. The radar will be down through the night. Technicians will be notified 7AM Tue morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rvarookie Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Def toasty. It’s got that “should be day drinking at the pool” kind of vibe. Can’t wait for chill days of summer, but I’d prefer it tad cooler until we get there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planes taking off from DCA's southern end, which sometimes takes them directly over our neighborhood when heading W or SW, are pulling off some interesting banks and turns right now, no doubt trying to avoid the fun to our N and W. Related -- any idea what that feedback is streaming in from the coast, just north of (I think?) @CAPE's location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 That thing on the eastern shore is a radar artifact. It’s been discussed on Twitter but I don’t think anyone knows the cause. Presumably something near the LWX radome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably something near the LWX radome. I actually hopped over to Twitter to see if the person who kept mentioning it was mentioning it this time. Would be interesting to look at the path of the beam and the nearby terrain and buildings to see if one could identify a source. Definitely seems more common when there's actual returns coming in from the west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least roughly if you follow on Google Earth an imaginary line running from the radome to the ESE along 267 and then continue that line - it would end up somewhere near/just south of Easton...maybe traffic?
