Hi Westcoast;
We are going to showing three levels and are working on doing that across the board. We are not showing the weakest of the weather with just rain. We will be showing level three on up. The upper two levels are the REAL bad levels...
As to vectoring around cells. We don't do that here due to legal liabilities. We do try to paint a picture for the pilot as to what we see though and try to give them options. The one issue with the doppler weather radar is that it takes anywhere from six minutes to 10 minutes to update. So you don't know just what can happen in 10 minutes...
regards
