Pop showers fired across Connecticut today under a pool of colder air aloft and associated low pressure trof. I thought it would be cool to look for a distinct shower outside to match up on radar inside. Not that tough of a goal with today's relatively dry lower levels of the atmosphere and spaced out convective cells.
Look at the cumulus cloud in the picture above. It is NNE of New Haven and has a visible precipitation shaft underneath.
Here is the same shower on radar right in the middle of all of the orange arrows:
In my opinion, matching technology up with actual events going on outside is crucial in understanding how the atmosphere works and the instruments/tools we use every single day!
Thanks for reading! -Gil
