Lets see some Nexrad!

Another example of traffic... (AMA is well known for this)

A nice squall line...

Stereotypical 3-D structure of a large, cyclic supercell (what you see more often than not based off my experience; supercells' 3-D Z structure can actually vary quite substantially)

Just a nice typhoon...

Too many to post! Props to Tom for displaying the 5/1-5/2/2002 supercells. The southern storm goes down as one of the most impressive I've personally witnessed on radar. It tracked from St. Louis to N.C.

Thanks for posting the pictures! Those are some very impressive storms. I'm trying to dig up some that I took last year, but I'm having problems finding my flash drive....doh.

I was curious if anyone has some Nexrad captures with returns in 75+ dbz range? Lets see those big hailers!

A nice squall line...

Nice? What you have there is monstrous in terms of scale. I like the traffic grabs you and Jeff submitted. Radar anomalies can be very enlightening. Here are my submissions:

Sure are some great screenshots here. Really like the 3-D images, which software package produces them?

While not as spectacular due to our EC radar page, the storm that produced the images did some spectacular damage, and almost landed a 200+ year-old tree in my living room. In the pic, my house is on the left.

Here is a storm that hit Amarillo, TX on June 21, 2004. It had 4+ inch hail (that i was able to stay out of) and 4 or so confirmed tornadoes (all F0 or F1).

Here are a couple pictures of what the hail did across western Amarillo. I drove around that side of town the next day and there were trees branches down everywhere and just about every car was missing a window. Definitely the worst hail damage I have ever seen.

Also here is a link to the radar loop for the afternoon.

From August 24, 2006 in South Dakota:

Reflectivity at the time of the Roanoke, IL F4 (it was hitting the Parson's plant at this time; hence the area of high reflectivity at the tip of the hook from debris):

The first few grabs were from a storm that I caught moving across the northern side of the Houston area. It produced close to baseball sized hail and the best structure I have seen here along the gulf coast. It had bright white hail streaks coming out of the back of it and at the same time my friend was caught in golf ball sized hail that severely damaged his car. As you can see from the radar, this storm topped out above 50kft!

The next few are from the March 2000 Fort Worth tornado.

This was about as close of a "backyard" chase as I ever want to have, lol. It hit the apartment complexe i am living in now, and missed the guy's hose who was chasing with me by about 1/2 a mile at the most.

Hallam, NE is getting torn apart about this time.

Nashville radar showing three supercells over Middle Tennessee on 11/10/2002 at 2339 UTC. The lines show the projected motion over the next 60 minutes (they are training).

I'll start off by saying, sorry for the "shameless plug".

I'm awfully obsessed with radar images of classic supercells. That's why I follow severe wx so much despite being in the area I live in.

Here's my weather page: http://www.geocities.com/wxmann_91/weather.html

A lot of grabs in the "Severe Wx" section of events and outbreaks. Yeah page is a little ugly looking but I'll update it in the future. Anyway enjoy...

Mickey Ptak -

What program are you using to display that radar? Looks nice.
