Diagnosing and area of extreme rainfall
Notes:
One area of particularly heavy rain developed over Wayne county Pennsylvania around midnight. The data on this slide shows the reflectivity associated with the heavy rain area, along with ZDR and KDP from the dual polarization radar. ZDR values were generally too low for hail, and the KDP indicated very high liquid water content in the echoes. The hydro meteorological classification scheme correctly identified the area as being associated with heavy rain.
