👉 The forecast fluid, also known as the weather radar precipitation (WPR) or radar reflectivity, is a critical component in meteorological forecasting. It represents the amount of precipitation falling within a specific area, as detected by weather radar systems. These radars emit radio waves that bounce off raindrops, snowflakes, or hailstones, and measure the strength of the returned signals. Higher reflectivity values indicate more precipitation, allowing meteorologists to estimate rainfall rates and identify areas of potential flooding or severe weather conditions. By analyzing the forecast fluid data over time, forecasters can predict the movement and intensity of precipitation patterns, providing valuable insights for weather advisories and public safety alerts.
