Those microbursts/down bursts are fascinating and often just as dangerous as most wind/storm related casualties and fatalities are from falling trees. The wind blows down vertically, which hits trees at their weak point and pushes branches down and rips them along the grain. V/Y shaped trees will almost always loose at least half of the tree in such events

Very informative. I'm new to reading radar so it's hard for me to get my head around it. I find it fascinating though. I hope to continue my learning. Videos like this really help a lot. Thank you for a great presentation.
NormanNWS created this video and is located in Norman Oklahoma. As for my original comment I was addressing the NormanNWS office that created this video and thanking them for it.
I really appreciate these types of videos. I don't intend to go out storm spotting, but I do definitely get value from being able to look at the reflectivity and velocity radars, and know what danger is headed my way.
Thank you for this most useful lesson. I finished my first two weeks of storm chasing this past late May/early June and am using the time before I’m out again to build on my knowledge (taking screen shots of most of the images and annotating them!) I hope you’ll continue to help us learn more.
Cool. Thanks. I've been a radar watcher since way back with Gary England on my TV. Jump back and throw me down Loretta! It's Friday night in the big town.
Do you have a video on how to read radar but for beginners? I’m not a storm chaser or spotter. I’m a firefighter in Florida that’s basically a weather nerd and would love to have this knowledge when hurricane season rolls around (now)…Thanks!
Really enjoy your videos, I purchased the Radar Omega Alpha version and have been really interested in learning more. How do you get the historical data such as you show on your video for Oklahoma Tornado in El Reno?
I don't fully understand the hard right turns of the right split supercells. I know that they make them. We've all heard of "right-turners" but I don't quite know the reasons. I think it's because they are moving into more saturated, warmer air. What else could it be?
Brief and weak from multicellular storms? Come on over to the East a bit and ask Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia residents about tornadoes from squall lines and MCS's. I'd like to see more about spotting rotation within multicellular storms like we get over here. Having witnessed several tornadoes in GA as well as lucking out on quite a few, I'd like to learn more about rotational signatures within constantly moving, shape-shifting and developing systems like we get. The Albany, GA Ef3 had a MASSIVE rotation. I could see rotation in the clouds well before it got to us (barely missed luckily). I have trouble verifying signatures using velocity and distinguishing between basic wind events and actual rotation....with squall lines, as severe as they have been, the velocity signatures are everywhere.
Not giivng a commercial (paid or anything like that) plug here but I really like WSV3 as a program for real time Level II and Level III nexrad products. If you download the pro version from wsv3.com it'll automatically work for 14 days, free. Good produt... more and more broadcast tv weather stations are using it now. I don't really know any other way to get actual real-time sweeps either. IF anyone else does, I'd be curious
Could the data be interpreted to detect if energy has been gained or lost by the radar signal? If so could this data then be used to detect the hot smoke of forest fires?
So, what is it that causes radar features like straight lines protruding from a center point out in all directions seeming to flash and become greater and lesser. And what causes perfect circles like those just mentioned above to "overlap" in areas creating many different lines, colors and circles like those seen here:https: //ua-cam.com/users/shortsttLN_D3FCz4 I am really interested in knowing how these unnatural patterns keep appearing and are intensifying in strength and frequency lately. Any takers? Anybody?
Brief and weak tornadoes from a squall line? Haha, not anymore say us in the SE. Guess you're going to have to update your lesson from saying sporadic tornadoes mostly short lived and weak to, "we really dont know what to expect from these types of systems anymore." Hahaha
You guys teach how to read velocity, but you don’t use it. There have been 7 unwarned tornadoes this year (2017), it looks like you’re the one that needs to be taught...

I'm a storm spotter in Jefferson County KS. thanks for posting this. Great job.
I'm a storm spotter in Jefferson County, KY.
No offense guys but you should know all of this before you start chasing. You'll get killed if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

The best information on radar I could find. This really helps with some of the questions I’ve been having, or should’ve had! Thanks!
Norman, thanks for your work putting this together!

this lesson was very useful thanks.
This was an excellent presentation! Nice job and thank you!
Thank you for posting these. I hope to see more quality advanced topics here
What an amazingly informative video. Incredibly useful

Thank you! I've been looking everyone for a clearcut spotting tutorial and this is it. Great job.

Thank you for posting this! I look forward to attending the Advanced Spotter Training in April!
Australian radars are my favourite especially Mt Stayplton as it has some really nice storms on radar during summer
This is very helpful I’m studying to become a meteorologist
how its going??
Cool. Thanks. I've been a radar watcher since way back with Gary England on my TV. Jump back and throw me down Loretta! It's Friday night in the big town.
I cannot wait for next spring!
I love these tutorials.

Encore! Can you do a series of these?
good video dude am a storm spotter in MD

Excellent! I even got to see a radar map inclusive of the St. Louis, MO area.
Outstanding!!
I can sleep very well with him teaching this!

I'm a amateur storm in spotter in Pensacola, Florida and are familiar with storms, but never true training. Thanks

Is this a weather doppler effect?
great video
How do u find these radars
I use RadarScope and RadarOmega
So I see only 4 different types of thunderstorms my friends say there are more than 4 can u help me out please...
best radar client to use? "MyRadar" has base velocity but not SRM that i see.
Hella people use omega, check that one

Yes when GE burned down next to my house they showed the Doppler radar on the local news. It looked like a monster storm.
I'm no spotter but I like this
Tism brother
22:48 So basically this could produce a satellite tornado (aka a weaker tornado revolving around a stronger one)?
Where can you get a velocity map
Great video, thank you!
cool!!
Used pickle for your smartphone great radar app
P.s Good detailed video thanks
thanks!!!!
do you use tilt 1 ,2,3.4?????

Is this awips
