Digital Vertically Integrated Liquid (DVIL) was developed to address some of the limitations of the original Vertically Integrated Liquid (VIL) product. This digital product may be newer, but it is not intended to be a replacement for the VIL product.
Many have messaged us whenever the Super-Res products are showing a delay. Sometimes, the image is shown as being up to 20 minutes late and is designated by the time being red. This latency issue is caused by transferring Super-Res products from the servers that create them to the web servers that provide them to RadarScope. The products are being generated, but the process to transfer them is intermittent. Luckily, there is a fix for this.
When thunderstorms develop in a strongly sheared environment, they can begin to spin. If the primary updraft of a storm is rotating, it is known as a supercell. Within this class of thunderstorm, there are three main categories. Let’s observe these supercells using RadarScope data.
Thunderstorms can be cellular, or they can form a more extended line. When they develop in a line, it can be broken down into three primary regions; the leading convective edge, the transition region, and the stratiform region. Though these are the three main regions, the rear inflow jet, and bookend vortices can also play an essential role in squall lines.
