Those fuzzy, skinny n-s lines slightly inland from the lakeshore are due to air
density changes affecting the radar beam return that one sometimes sees when a
lake breeze develops. After today's cold front came through a cool NE wind
increased into the afternoon, but it remained very warm inland. There were
still many dragonflies along the lakeshore today- note the big fuzzy splotches
on the same detection- and as we see every year there were hundreds of gulls
chasing and hawking them- a strange sight. Here's what Betsy is referring to-

Subject: [wisb] question about radar now
Just checked nexrad, and there's a skinny N/S line moving linearly westward
showing up on radar. Is this a dragonfly movement??? Or??? Please
chime in as you are able. Betsy Abert, SE Mke Co.
