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. CURRENT VARI- ATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE U.S. 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. 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. The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. RADAR INFORMATION IN DETER- MINING FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL, National Weather. 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). Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. 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). High temperatures are forecast to warm a few to around 9 degrees above yesterdays readings over northern and eastern areas, but there will be a few degrees of cooling across the southwest.
"Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. NOAA National Weather Service Albuquerque, NM. 13 NEWS FIRST ALERT FORECAST FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2023. Are you WeatherReady for the fall Check out our latest weather safety graphics, videos, social media posts, and more here. The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan. Southern Arizona continues its cool down Saturday, with a high of 99 degrees in Tucson. Radar Outage for NWS Wilmington (KILN) Radar September 11th through 22nd.
