Zuniga, who has been with the station for 22 years, anchoring Fox News First since the early morning program began 17 years ago. Zuniga didn't give a specific reason for leaving KABB.

The data from weather national radars can be not very accurate due to interference. It can happen because the objects that reflect the radio beams are very small. 2. The requirements for the location of radars are very strict.

The radar is located to the southeast, or to the bottom right of the computer screen. Note the bright red, or strong outbound velocities right next to the bright green, or inbound velocities. This indicates a strongly rotating column of air.

This phenomenon is known as subrefraction . Subrefraction causes the radar to overshoot objects that would normally be detected. Distant thunderstorms might not be detected with subrefraction as well as under reporting the intensity as the beam hits only the top portion of the thunderstorm cloud.

KABB announced the hire of Andrew Capasso as its new morning anchor. KABB has found its replacement for Ernie Zuniga. The Fox 29 News anchor left the station in May, after anchoring the Fox News First show for 17 years.

On a weather radar map, a tornado is usually indicated by a smaller area of red surrounded by a larger area of green. However, modern radar systems can also indicate debris balls, a sign of a tornado on the ground.

Purple indicates “range folding”— where the radar cannot determine the radial velocity. Velocity image of a large-scale weather system. denotes the approx. location of the radar.

The colors are typically a spectrum. The greens indicate light or moderate rainfall. Yellow, orange, and red indicate moderate to heavy rainfall and can also indicate hail. Whites or blues mean snowfall and pink indicates freezing rain, sleet, or a wintry mix.

Rain Intensity and Droplet Size: Light rainfall or drizzle consists of tiny water droplets. These droplets might be too small for the radar to detect effectively. Since low-level moisture can lead to the formation of such fine droplets, the rain might be falling right under our noses but stay invisible to the radar.

Why does the radar say it's snowing but it's not? ›

The radar isn't lying, rather, the the rain or snow is not hitting the ground. If you have a dry air mass in place in the low levels, sometimes rain cannot completely penetrate that dry layer before it evaporates.

Red shows winds blowing away from the radar, and green shows winds blowing toward it. Stronger winds usually equate to brighter colors on the radar imagery. You can spot rotation and a possible tornado in a thunderstorm by looking for strong winds blowing in different directions right next to each other.

In June 2019, Anastos decided to relinquish his anchoring duties at the WNYW-TV to enroll at Harvard Business School to study a curriculum of leadership and management courses. On-air tributes video was prepared by Fox 5.

CAREER UPDATE: I'm thrilled to announce I'm joining the NBC Los Angeles team. I couldn't be more excited to begin this next chapter in my career, reporting in Southern California, where I was born and raised. It's truly a dream come true to be back home in LA.
