Description:Most of the developmental phase of the WSR-88D (NEXRAD) has focused on its capabilities of detecting severe weather. The full potential of its usefulness in this area cannot be undersold, but the radar will also be in use during winter months and an abundance of tools lay waiting for forecasters of icing conditions, blizzard conditions, rain-snow lines, snow intensity, and snow accumulation. Many of the algorithms currently used in RADAP II will be incorporated in the WSR-88D software. During snow events, variable reflectivity and the snow accumulation map are two very valuable RADAP II products. The effectiveness and accuracy of their performance, during an early season snow storm that moved across the Southern Plains and lower Missouri Valley is examined in this study.
