Big Snow Country Snow Falling Now: Radar

HOW TO INTERPRET THE BIG RADAR VIEWS BELOW

WARNING: THESE RADAR VIEWS OFTEN MAKE IT APPEAR THAT IT IS SNOWING OR RAINING IN MORE AREAS THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. OFTEN, IT IS SNOWING ONLY IN THE MEDIUM BLUE AND THE DARKER BLUE AREAS, AND IT IS RAINING ONLY IN THE MEDIUM GREEN, DARK GREEN, YELLOW AND RED AREAS.

LIGHT BLUE (IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES), LIGHT PINK (IN TEMPERATURES NEAR FREEZING) AND LIGHT BLUE-GREEN (IN ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES) MEANS THAT THERE IS VERY LIGHT PRECIPITATION, OR THAT IT IS SIMPLY CLOUDY.

COLOR KEY FOR ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES
PURPLE: Very severe thunderstorm and hailstorm activity, with a fairly high probability that one or more tornadoes are present as well.
RED: Very heavy rain; Generally also indicates severe thunderstorm activity including the potential for hail and even for tornado activity. The darker the red, the more severe the thunderstorm, the higher the probability that there is hail, the bigger any hail stones will be, and the higher the probability that one or more tornadoes are present as well.
YELLOW: Moderately Heavy Rain; Often also indicates relatively light thunderstorm activity.
DARK GREEN: Moderate rain, generally no thunderstorm activity
MEDIUM GREEN: Light rain; no thunderstorm activity
LIGHT GREEN: Cloudy, perhaps a little drizzle at the most
NO COLOR: Sunny (day) or clear (night)

COLOR KEY FOR TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO FREEZING
LIGHT PINK: Cloudy, light freezing drizzle or sleet at the most.
MEDIUM PINK: Light freezing rain or sleet
DARK PINK: Moderate freezing rain or sleet
VERY DARK PINK: Heavy freezing rain or sleet

COLOR KEY FOR BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES
VERY DARK BLUE: Heavy snow
DARK BLUE: Moderate snow
MEDIUM BLUE: Light snow
LIGHT GREEN-BLUE: Cloudy, perhaps some light snow flurries. The coloring appears to be more light green-blue than light blue.
NO COLOR: Sunny (day) or clear (night)

HOW TO INTERPRET THE RADAR--SATELLITE VIEWS

WARNING: THESE RADAR-SATELLITE VIEWS MAKE IT APPEAR THAT IT IS SNOWING OR RAINING IN MANY MORE AREAS THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. IT IS SNOWING OR RAINING ONLY IN THE DARK GREEN, YELLOW, OR RED AREAS.

LIGHT GREEN SIMPLY MEANS THAT IT IS CLOUDY.

NOTE: UNLIKE THE RADAR ONLY VIEWS ABOVE, SNOW IS NOT COLORED BLUE ON THESE RADAR-SATELLITE VIEWS. BOTH RAIN AND SNOW APPEAR IN THE SAME COLOR.

RED: Extremely heavy snow or rain; can indicate severe thunderstorm activity including hail and the threat of tornadoes
YELLOW: Heavy snow or rain
DARK GREEN: Moderate snow or rain
MEDIUM GREEN: Light snow or rain; May be just drizzle or a few flurries
LIGHT GREEN: Cloudy; No precipitation is falling
THICK WHITE: Cloudy to Partly Cloudy
MEDIUM WHITE: Partly Cloudy
THIN WHITE: Perhaps a few high clouds, but it is still sunny (day) or clear (night)
NO COLOR: Sunny (day) or clear (night)
