Doppler radar south Florida storms

 

This radar reflectivity image was taken from the Miami (KAMX) Doppler radar at 8:24 pm February 2, 1998. A number of significant features can be seen in this image. A large bow echo is apparent in the Opa Locka-Carol City-Hialeah area of north Dade county (B). Another very strong echo region can be seen in southern Biscayne Bay (C). Yet another strong echo pattern (A) shows signs of bowing in eastern Lee county entering the western part of Hendry county. The echo pattern at (A) later produced the F0 tornado reported at Buckhead Ridge and also minor wind damage at Moore Haven and Lakeport in Glades county.
