Since hail can cause the rainfall estimates to be higher than what is actually occurring, steps are taken to prevent these high dBZ values from being converted to rainfall.

Winchester Weather Radar Maps - Motion Local Base Velocity Radar Loop For Current Radar, See: NWS NOTE: We diligently are working to improve the view of local radar loops for Winchester - in the meantime, we can only show the US as a whole. Hail is a good reflector of energy and will return very high dBZ values. Doppler radar has detected hail at or near Winchester, VA on 38 occasions. These values are estimates of the rainfall per hour, updated each volume scan, with rainfall accumulated over time. Depending on the type of weather occurring and the area of the U.S., forecasters use a set of rainrates which are associated to the dBZ values. The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall.

Find historical weather data by zip code and access weather archives from more than 1300. One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). See past weather reports with the Almanacs weather history tool. Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver.
