Tuesday Radar

Allright -- so explain this one. Here is the radar "image" (1km) from 2216 UTC:



And here is the visible light image (1km) taken at 2215 UTC -- contrast enhanced and cropped so the image is about the same area as the radar shown above:




Now -- if there's such a huge and strong radar "echo", why doesn't it correlate with the visible satellite image?

Could this be the "chaff" that is talked about so much? If you look at a radar animation for the past several hours, there are other little "clouds" moving around. I haven't correlated them with any sat image, but I'd guess that they're as un-correlated as the big blob.

So I guess I'll be watching this blob, too, as it makes its way across my beautiful desert.

Sons of bitches....
