What the heck is going on in Hawaii?

[LiQiCE]

Ok, maybe I just don't know enough about weather in Hawaii ... but what is going on in Hawaii? I've been checking out the weather around here with the Hurricanes and all ... but I saw this map on Accuweather.com and I was confused. It looks like its a perfect circle... I didn't think anything like that would occur naturally.

Weather.com shows the same thing ... check it out:

weather.com map
accuweather.com link

I save the images locally, so if the images change, I can change the links assuming I can access my host from work.

Looks like its gone already ...

Here's the images that I saved:

Picture 1 (weather.com)
Picture 2 (accuweather.com)

looks like you'll have to link your local images.

Looks like distortion on the radar.

 

[J0hnny]

Probably a bug.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

its a radar. looks like either its malfunctioning or they are getting a lot of rain.

 

[LiQiCE]

You guys sure it wasn't a UFO that the radar was picking up? ... Just kidding.

I just didn't know if something like that was normal or occurred naturally. A radar problem makes sense, but I thought weather.com and accuweather.com might use different radar systems so it might be something both were picking up.

I think all of those sites gets feeds from the same radar system (weather.gov).

Just looks like the max range of the radar/dopplar (sp) that they are showing at the time.

OMG THE END THE END

Radar is turned up too high.

*** CONFIRMED *** *** OFFICIAL***


No weird weather happening in Hawaii right now

 

[Ogg]

My sources can confirm thats its an artifact produced by black ops govt projects. These rings have been seen all over the US on radars periodically. Think HAARP or something similar :Q

LOL at the local pics. If that were real... expect the apocalypse. Looks like something straight out of Independence Day (the movie) or 4400 (the series).

i think the trashhold for the visualization of the data is outta whack. I'm sure they get the radar feeds in non-visual form (polar coordinates and values), so its just a matter of calibrating the rendering software

 

[Demon-Xanth]

The two places are using the same RADAR information. And that RADAR system needs repair.

Notice the RADAR range:

OMG! No one from Hawaii was called me in the last 2 hours. They're all dead. All dead!
wait a second... I don't know anyone in Hawaii.



Looks to me like the sensitivity was turned up too high on the radar. Picking up fog or something - maybe even just picking up clouds..

 

[JDub02]

gain needs dropped, FTC and STC need adjusted. no biggie.

 

[Snapster]

Looks like a bomb's just been dropped

 

[Psycho18]

interesting....

 

[neutralizer]

It's an ad for Halo! :Q

Probably a swarm of Mitsubishi Zeros....
