Original Note:
The beams are an example of external interference. This occurs when the radar picks up the signal from another source (cell tower, other radars, etc.) that is close the to the frequency the radar is operating on. A 750kW radar cannot create, destroy or steer storms. https://www.roc.noaa.gov/public-documents/operations-branch/Data_Quality_Oddities_and_Anomalies.pdf https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/13-490_1_.pdf
