PRECIPITATION
NOTE:
Precipitation data cannot be displayed at the same time as terrain or Stormscope.
Precipitation (PRECIP) data is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and
dissemination of radar images can be significant and may not reflect the current radar synopsis. Due to the
inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only.
