Demodulator stats Decoded traffic Dropped attempts · Traffic pulse speed scales with the sample-window rate, capped visually. Pulses represent activity, not individual packets or RF lock.
Statistics are independent of received image timestamps.
Receiver connections & timing
Viterbi corrections are a count per decoded packet attempt, not a measured bit-error percentage. Packet loss describes the received decoder statistics, not missing telemetry messages. This panel does not infer an RF lock flag.

Gaps mean no temperature was provided. Point details identify values from earlier received forecasts.
Temperatures show your preferred units with alternate units alongside. Low = early morning on the named date; high = that afternoon. Today’s values may come from earlier received forecasts; they are not observed daily extremes. Precipitation chances cover the preceding night (6 PM–6 AM) and the named day (6 AM–6 PM), in the forecast location’s local time. — means not provided.

Hot-spot imagery works at night as well as during the day. A clear-looking image does not rule out fire. Enhancement colors depend on the receiver’s palette; no fire threshold or temperature scale has been inferred.
Up to 12 received images, played at equal display intervals. Filename times are not independently verified observation times. Visible images need sunlight; infrared and hot-spot imagery work day and night. No geographic overlay or quantitative fire/rainfall estimate is derived from these JPEG/PNG images.

Data quality & forecasting limits
Image nowcasts extrapolate existing patterns. They cannot anticipate new storms or replace a numerical weather model. Radar echoes do not establish surface rain, and missing echoes do not establish coverage. NWS zone forecasts describe broad areas and are displayed as received.
