Detection
WSR-88D national radar and echo top mosaics (provided by NOAA with mosaics created and distributed by UNISYS) and cloud-to-ground
lightning (provided by Global Atmospherics Inc) are combined to create the detection images. The Convective Hazard Detection field is
depicted based on a
6 level intensity scale.
The 6 levels fundamentally correspond to VIP level.
Forecast
The forecast button allows the user to select the forecast shapes.
The image shows
the blue forecast shapes with a vector going from center of the storm to its forecasted position.
The labels indicate storm speed in knots and the maximum echo top in 100's of feet.

shapes.
