Strange weather map anomaly near St. Louis today.

I'm sure some people on this site see this picture and claim it's HAARP aiming at New Madrid, but I would never make a statement that bold.

I'm looking for more logical explanations, I've never seen anything quite like it...have you?

What could cause this type of anomaly on the radar?

Strange indeed...

Its probably a display error with one of the ground based radars.

Actually I see these all the time on radar images. If you look at St. louis Channel 4 interactive radar you can see several of the lines radiating out from the radar site.

HAARP lul


kinda looks like radar

I don't know, something called a glitch maybe ? Our technology is not foolproof.

Ok, I apologize. I don't look at these maps often, did not know it was a normal occurrence. Thanks for the clarification.

I've seen those before, they are lines that radiate from radar sites. Also, note that they are shaped like a very narrow wedge shape. pay attention the locations of those places on the map, then come dusk look for lines that do not radiate from these radar sites.

Around dusk before the sun sets hop onto intellicast or weatherstreet and look at a nexrad weathermap and you will see similar lines that travel from east to west following the sunset. These lines don't radiate from the radar stations, previously noted, nor do they have a small wedge-like appearance. I've been watching these lines for about 6mos now and I think they are telluric currents or something like that having an effect on radar readings.

those are not display errors, they pop up around radar sites, not HAARP either!

Thank you for the more detailed explanation. Cheers.

If you look at the legend on the radar depiction, you will notice that it is a "base"depiction. Switch to composite depiction and it will disappear. Radar beams are photon propagations in the microwave frequency range. These waves are subject to the lame refraction effects as is light. What you are seeing is most likely a radar "mirage caused by differing densities of air near the surface just like the "puddles" you see that really aren't there on a roadway or in the desert on a hot day.
