Scott: As you know the NEXRAD weather products provide a six level weather product for I believe raw reflectivity. They also do a precip density and a few others (the whole thing is on NWS's NEXRAD site) It is certainly better than the slashes and stuff on the old display.

How close you want to come to the depicted weather depends on how recent the weather product is that is being used to generate the display and how fine a resolution the data and display are. The data resolution on NEXRAD is not bad, used to know the numbers, but believe it is 1nm grid, says so on the displays direct from NWS. Got to watch how old the data is though. Believe FAA gets a port out of the NEXRAD to feed the weather processors, so old data is under FAA control to some extent.

Is "annotate" like the toy on television and can you make like John Madden and diagram the plays?
