|
12. Examine a movie from 6:00 pm Tuesday through 2:00 am Wednesday, with BREF1 from Vance AFB (KVNX) and BREF1 from Norman (KTLX) (hint: toggle the radars in the legend to see individual features). Mesonet air temperatures and Mesonet wind observations are included.
- What precip type is suggested by the radar echoes?
- Where is the freezing line, in relation to the precip observed by the each radar?
- Does the freezing line begin to move during this 8-hour movie?
- What do you notice about the placement and motion of the heaviest precipitation elements? What threats do you think are present in northwest and west-central Oklahoma? What about on the warm side (south and east) of the freezing line?
