[mou] HUGE Migration on RADAR tonight

[Tom Auer]

Taking a look at the Duluth and Minneapolis NEXRADS from the past
couple of hours, I'm noticing a huge exodus and departure, moving from
the SE and heading NW, especially over Duluth.

I'd been keeping an eye on things the past couple of nights and
nocturnal migration had been quite sluggish, possibly slowed due to
wind directions, temperatures, and rain. But, tonight I think the
bottle-neck finally cleared and the birds are really flowing.

Here's a couple of great links on watching migration via RADAR:

Also, here's my favorite source for NEXRAD:

Just a clue. 01:00 UTC is 7:00 PM CST, so you can work backwards from
there. Tonight though, as RADAR becomes available every 15 minutes,
you can set the End Time to be "Most Recent" and then choose a block
of hourse as the "Loop Duration" for "Today" and it'll give you
tonight's RADAR when you click on the station.
