Weird Radar Phenomenon(Tasmania)

A line stretching from Cowes to Helens, I've seen different types of glitches but this one is new. www.bom.gov.au...

Also:

I have no idea what I'm looking at. Could you explain what exactly is unusual?

1. Your looking at a weather radar.
2. That radar is picking up a fanned glitch which I've never seen before, and I look on this website 2-3 times a day.

Is it possible this line is caused by the technology used, or is it a "natural" occurrence in your opinion?

That's rather strange i must admit...

It also seems that the apparrent rainfall rate in the band increases over the 30 minutes that the radar images cover, as well as remaining completely stationary while the surrounding clouds move...

It could of course just be a ghost in the system... or a piece of lint...

Interested to hear what other people have to say on this one though.

Radar glitch, nothing abnormal-I would say. Looks like a computer processing error of the data, it doesn't move and it has the shape of the doppler scope.

Sorry,

It looks to me as though the technology is flawed, I am looking at the 512km composite, the amount of rain in between where I think it is glitching isn't showing past those points, so it's either getting heavy out of nowhere or it is masked by an unknown anomaly.

That is definitely not a normal weather pattern. what is at the point of origin? It seems to have an obvious spot that it starts at. What is needed is either eyes on that spot, or perhaps a good satellite image of that spot. I am sure someone is from around Cowes, Warragul, or Melbourne and may know that area.

I saw the exact same thing on a danish weather radar just two days ago, and have been wondering what it was ...

It doesn't show here:

OMG, just take it from me it looks identical.....sorry

Someone have to say it.. HARP?

I see similar things all the time. Here in the British Isles, the Shannon radar in Ireland is notorious for suffering disturbance and throwing out 'lines'. You soon get used to them and know to ignore it.

As explained just below the radar. These radar waves can on a sunny day get reflected in the atmosphere, causing false precipitation areas on the radar images.

Ok can it actualy rain in such a way taht in formas a straight line like that,,,very weird. It has to be a glitch or something.
