Question 5. Also at 6:28 p.m., examine the reflectivity scans on Tilt 2 and Tilt 3. What feature on Tilt 3 seems to be correlated with the storm as seen on Tilt 1?
 



 
Answer. In comparing the Tilt 1 and Tilt 3 reflectivity scans, the hook echo and the Bounded Weak Echo Region (BWER) are located in the same area. The crosshair shows the correlation between the hook and the BWER, which both are associated with a storm with a strong updraft.
