Since hail can cause the rainfall estimates to be higher than what is actually occurring, steps are taken to prevent these high dBZ values from being converted to rainfall. Hail is a good reflector of energy and will return very high dBZ values. These values are estimates of the rainfall per hour, updated each volume scan, with rainfall accumulated over time.

Wind direction is SE at 7 mph with visibility of 10 mile(s) mi. Depending on the type of weather occurring and the area of the U.S., forecasters use a set of rainrates which are associated to the dBZ values. Kgdd-Am Paris Doppler Radar Loop Current Conditions: Clear, the temperature is 71☏, humidity 42. The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. Mostly sunny and hot heat will be dangerous, minimize outdoor activity.

The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall. The value of the dBZ depends upon the mode the radar is in at the time the image was created. Notice the color on each scale remains the same in both operational modes, only the values change. The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75). One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). Visibility 22+ miles Dew Pt 59° Humidity 31 UV Index 6 (High) Pressure 763 mmHg Sunny with 5 mph winds from the East and a temperature of 93 ☏. Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. Partly because of its common use by television meteorologists in on-air weather reporting, the specific term 'Doppler Radar' has erroneously become popularly synonymous with the type of radar used in meteorology. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases.

The US Weather Bureaus first experimental Doppler weather radar unit was obtained from the US Navy in the 1950s. So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). 'Reflectivity' is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver.

* WHEN.Until 715 PM CDT.The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan. * WHERE.A portion of southeast Texas, including the following counties, Brazoria and Fort Bend. * WHAT.Urban and small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 715 PM CDT THIS EVENING. However, small hail and gusty winds are still possible with this thunderstorm. Therefore, the warning has been cancelled.
