๐งตWEEKEND WEATHER: We've got some big changes coming up for the weekend, so get ready! We'll start with a severe weather threat Friday night followed by windy and much colder conditions Saturday and very cold temperatures Saturday night into Sunday morning. #gawx
โก๏ธSevere Storms Possible Friday Nightโก๏ธ The risk for severe thunderstorms increases Friday night into pre-dawn Saturday along and south of the I-85 corridor ahead of the incoming strong cold front. The highest risk will be in Central Georgia. #gawx
๐ฅถ๐ฅถMuch colder air will arrive behind the front on Saturday, with temperatures remaining in the 30s and 40s for many of us. High temperatures will occur in the morning with temperatures dropping or steady through the day. Very gusty winds will keep wind chills even colder. #gawx
With KJGX radar going down for refurbishment, radar is on our mind! So lets talk about something we get asked about a lot; what is this hole in the radar over the radar location? To answer, we need to learn a little bit about how radar works, and use some *gasp* math! (1/7) #gawx
Radar sends out electromagnetic waves in order to detect objects. At the most basic level, waves are generated by the dish, the waves travel out, hit objects and scatter, and then some amount returns back to the radar, which we can measure. (2/7)
You can think of this as the radar "shouting" and then "listening" for a return echo. So the radar has to do two things before listening - first shout (send out the waves), then switch modes to "listen" for the return. Our radar does this very fast - like, microseconds fast (3/7)
