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.

Data Times
When the forecast is on there will be two time labels at the top
of the image. The time in white, is the valid time of the hazard
field. This is followed by the time in blue, which is the Validation
time of the forecast shapes.
