Refractivity data for northeast Colorado as compiled for REFRACTT by one or more of the radars involved. Cooler colors indicate greater amounts of water vapor in the lower atmosphere (up to about 3,000 feet).  The image is from July 18, 2006, when moisture had pooled against the Front Range (green band). Major roads and highways are visible as faint lines. Credit: ©UCAR
