A video of the Lubbock Doppler Weather Radar on this blustery late April Saturday morning. Running 24/7 365 days a year, today's task is scanning West Texas for snow and rain. The radar is operating in VCP21 in this video ( http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/doppler/vcp_max.html ) which is a medium scan speed (about 2 RPM.) This rate provides a nice balance of update frequency and measurement accuracy. Contrary to popular belief, the radar doesn't just scan right at the horizon all the time. Rath
