Evil hurricane face in effect. ?

Stupid matrixing. Lol

Anyway, I'm not off the bat well versed in radar as it relates to weather, but Doppler radar should detect it. There may be some caveats, though:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/doppler_radar.htm

The classic zero doppler target is one which is on a heading that is tangential to the radar antenna beam.

Basically, any target that is heading 90 degrees in relation to the antenna beam cannot be detected.


I'm assuming this is relevant. But I would think that other Doppler radar in the area would somehow detect it, at least one or more.

Doppler radar as I know it best, is used at airports to detect severe downdrafts and the like, which have enough force to push aircraft right into the ground while on close approach. I'm assuming the radar must be positioned ideally in order to detect these columns of air, so I also assume that having them simply in the vicinity thereof isn't sufficient.


Thank you, my friend.

And yes, I figure the Radar should be spot on.

But I also know that news and weather vultures

needlessly amp up the potential of these storms

well beyond a 'better safe than sorry" standard.

And I resent the hell out of it... I caught news story

video from the Jamaican Herald (or something),

titled-- THREAT FIZZLES...

And dey say If it come, it come... we still be heah.

Weather's big biz, Monte, as you know.

When these storms come around some folks get a little CNN'y: wall-to-wall coverage, "embedded" reporters soldiering in rain gear on scene, experts "weighing in"... "Was the storm having marital problems"? "Hurricane Joe's dark past, and more, tonight!" "Was the storm hijacked?"

Ha!

I love it. 🙂
