Interesting Image

This is nothing about anything going on today, just a cool image.  I was playing around with GR2Analyst, when I noticed that there was a storm right on top of the Minneapolis radar.  Radars that we currently have can not scan upwards.  Instead, they take individual snapshots of different angles.  The last scan angle that I have is at 19.5 degrees, but I can't confirm whether or not the NWS has higher scans.  I draw it out here:

Sorry for the crudeness.  So, since a storm was over the Minneapolis radar, we got this image:

I like to call this the "stadium" effect.  Because of the different scan angles, there is a stair-step appearance inside of a big "bowl," giving it the look of an arena.  Just a fun little image I wanted to show here.  As always, Stay tuned!
