I'd like to think that 20 years from now, the current radar inability to detect a wx threat e.g. a high-velocity updraft (also alluded to in compelling anecdotes) will seem tragically archaic.
I'd like to think that, too. However a lot of very bright people have spent quite a bit more than 20 years trying to solve this problem already, without much success in terms of a practicable engineering solution. If you want to make your fortune then you could do it by cracking this one, but don't expect it to be easy!
