I ran another flight today that started about 10 miles from KSTL with the settings we’re using.
The first screenshot shows heavy precipitation on the radar for quite a ways out.
The second screenshot shows I’m still in heavy snow just before breaking out. However, note that the radar now shows a very distinct lessening of the precipitation just a few miles from where I was going to land. So for some reason it seems to have a limited area around the airport I’m landing at vs the entire area.
The flight yesterday was from KPIT to KCMH and had snow at both ends, but I didn’t really watch the radar. So not sure why it seems to work when flying cross country, but only has a limited snow coverage area when starting in the local area of the destination.
I ran the local flight a couple of times, and although I had snow on landing at both, the radar view showed quite different views of how much further out the weather went before it showed no returns.
So it’s definitely not a giving complete coverage even with the settings we’re using.
Not sure what else to test right now, but I’ll keep looking at it.
Regards
