* WHAT.Up to 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. Additional snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze in Litchfield County. * WHAT.Snow with initial snow mixing with sleet and some freezing rain in Litchfield County this afternoon. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING. * WHERE.Southern Nassau County in New York. Additional snow accumulations of up to two inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING. In New York, Northwest Suffolk, and Southwest Suffolk Counties. * WHERE.In Connecticut, Southern New London County. Additional snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of a light glaze. * WHERE.Portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New More Additional snow accumulations of up to two inches and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch. * WHERE.Portions of southern Connecticut, northeast New Jersey More

Additional snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches and ice accumulations of around one tenth of an inch. * WHERE.In New York, Northeast Suffolk County. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON. Some sleet could mix in from time to time. Precipitation is changing to mainly freezing rain which is expected to prevail over the next few hours. Temperatures in the area are mostly at or below freezing, ranging from the upper 20s to 32 degrees. PRECIPITATION CHANGING TO MAINLY FREEZING RAIN.

Any untreated surfaces will become icy and slippery in the locations getting freezing rain. There are both areas of rain and freezing rain within Northeast Suffolk. Temperatures in the area are mainly in the low 30s. * IMPACTS.Plan on slippery road conditions. * WHERE.Sullivan, Otsego and Delaware counties. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches. The algorithm, called Snow Machine, forecasts several precipitation types: rain, sleet and wintry mix.WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING. It has an extrapolation feature to predict snowfall totals in excess of 24 hours in advance using meteorological computer model outputs. VIPIR tracks snowfall/rainfall accumulations. To do this, it uses the presence of a BWER in reflectivity and atmospheric rotation picked up by Doppler weather radar. The ones capable of producing a tornado are flagged by red or yellow cylinders according to the strength of the vortex as defined by the tornado vortex signature criteria similar to those the National Weather Service uses. Storms are classified according to certain criteria and ranked. VIPIR automatically locates thunderstorms over the radar coverage area using algorithms analyzing the water content of each storm, its motion and wind fields. Included in VIPIR are algorithms that analyze precipitation data in order to find signatures of severe thunderstorms, accumulation of rain or snow, and other weather patterns of interest. It is used by television meteorologists to give a comprehensive view of weather, in particular severe weather events. VIPIR images can be constructed from multiple sources, including Doppler weather radar and NEXRAD. If imagery is zoomed in at an adequate range, actual weather satellite data can be superimposed. The result of this process is a three-dimensional image of the storm, which may be rotated and viewed from any angle. This data can be manipulated in a three-dimensional view by VIPIR. WSR-88D, or NEXRAD, Doppler weather radars scan at various elevations, creating a volume scan.

Doppler weather radar in motion software#

This software allows improved analysis of radar data for private users, in particular television stations, similar to the Weather Decision Support System program used by the National Weather Service. Volumetric Imaging and Processing of Integrated Radar, known by the acronym VIPIR, is an analysis and display program for Doppler weather radar, created and sold by Baron Services.
