THIS IS DONE WITH MULTIPLE SHORT TERM HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS AND FORECASTER EXPERIENCE.

*ROADWAY ACCUMULATIONS FORECAST

A FORECAST PAGE THAT DISPLAYS CUTTING EDGE SURFACE ACCUMULATIONS MODELING/LIKLIHOOD AS WELL AS CURRENT ROAD TEMPERATURES VIA MN/DOT'S RWIS PROGRAM AS WELL AS REAL TIME SURFACE REPORTS OVER NEARLY 100 LOCATIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA TO VERIFY INCOMING/DEVELOPING/DISSIPATING WEATHER HAZARDS, ETC.


*HIGH RESOLUTION RADAR (samples)

DEDICATED STRICTLY TO "HIGH END" OR HIGH RESOLUTION RADAR IMAGERY. THIS IMAGERY IS QUITE INTENSIVE GRAPHICALLY (DUE TO IT'S DETAIL) AND MAY TAKE SLIGHTLY LONGER TO DOWNLOAD THAN STANDARD RADAR ONE IS USED TO VIEWING ON A STANDARD WEATHER WEB PAGE OR TV WEATHER DISPLAY. THIS IMAGERY IS DERIVED DIRECTLY FROM GOVERNMENTAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR THEN POST-PROCESSED VIA CUTTING EDGE SOFTWARE WHICH IS NEVER DISPLAYED TO THE AVERAGE CONSUMER/CUSTOMER, BUT IS HIGHLY USEFUL!
