Echo Tops

Echo Tops are derived from NEXRAD radar and indicate the highest altitude at which precipitation is falling. Echo Tops

at or above the altitude you select are displayed in 5,000 foot increments up to 70,000 feet. Echo Tops can be helpful in

determining the severity of thunderstorms, where higher altitudes equate to more intense thunderstorms.
