Original Note:
This post is likely referring to a Doppler radar, which emits energy that reflects off airborne objects, such as rain drops. The “scary red/yellow” does not necessarily mean there will be lightning or severe wind, as the radar is reporting precipitation. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/using-radar#:~:text=The%20radar's%20computers%20measure%20the,the%20speed%20of%20the%20wind. https://youtu.be/AeX2lMUfddQ?si=_qhDBIE50En7urmS
