General Discussion / WSR-57 & WSR-74 Locations Map
« on: August 26, 2018, 08:33:11 PM »
Decided to make a map of where the old WSR-57 and WSR-74 radars were....Feel free to point out any mistakes I may have made, such as locations or addresses, or any comments you may have. And if you like, tell which radar or radars served your local area! And, if you really like to, post some pics of said radar, whether it be TWC/local news, old map sketchings or radar scope photographs!

Red markers indicate WSR-57, light blue markers indicate WSR-74.

General Weather Chat / Highest cloud tops you have seen or heard of
« on: June 07, 2012, 03:36:16 PM »
What is the highest cloud top you've ever seen or heard about..... I saw in another weather forum that a radar operator at Charleston, SC once measured a 72,000 foot cloud top on the '57 back in August of '85 or '86.

General Weather Chat / National Weather Service that serves/ used to serve your area
« on: June 06, 2012, 02:33:43 PM »
I was just wanting to know: Which National Weather Service office serves your area now, and which one used to pre- NWS modernization. The one that serves me now (Ashe County, NC) is Blacksburg, and the one that used to serve me....... I think it was either Bristol, Greensboro or Charlotte...... I can't remember. A CWA map of those old WSOs would be nice to clear this up.....

EDIT: I know now which WSO served Ashe County.... It was the WSO in Asheville.....

General Discussion / Weather Dreams
« on: July 29, 2011, 06:22:15 PM »
Do you have any dreams about weather?? If so, share them here. I have had several over the last few months. I once had a dream I was driving down I-77 to get to Charlotte, NC, and about halfway there, a tornado touched down next to me and- just as it touched down, the tornado split and the two vortices passed by either side of this house. Then the 2 vortices joined back together and lifted off the ground a few minutes after touching down.
