Description:National Weather Service hourly radar observations contain manually digitized information which is often not used by field people. Plotting and analyzing data of this sort from a number of sites can be very tedious and time-consuming. The reports are merged into the national radar maps which are transmitted through facsimile and AFOS. These national charts, however, lack resolution, and they are generally not available until an hour after the observations are taken. This study describes a program which can cull this digitized data from a number of radar observations, and then put them into a usable form. Three graphic products are generated representing one hour, three hours, and six hours of digitized data.
