    Gulf Coast preps as Ida weakens to tropical storm

    Gulf Coast residents hunkered down at home and in shelters Monday as a rare late-season tropical storm headed their way, bringing with it the potential for high winds, flooding and up to 8 inches of rain in some places. After a quiet Atlantic storm season, people took the year's first serious threat in stride.

Question: On the central NC radar, can you indicate the approximate direction that a front or weather system is moving? I frequently check the web site and central radar for planning but the image is still and I can't see if the front is moving towards Rocky Mount or going north toward Virginia, etc.

Answer: The central NC radar image, along with the other more zoomed-in views, can be looped by clicking the 1-hour or 8-hour loop links. This will provide a visual indication of the direction and speed of movement of precipitation echoes, as well as some sense of whether they are intensifying or weakening. You can also lapse images from Dual Doppler 5000 or a composite of National Weather Service radars on a scalable map background by using the iControl radar feature.
