Doppler radar maps are some of the most common types of map that I see on a regular day basis whether online or on television. It is used everyday to view current weather along with predictions of the future. Doppler radar detects weather in motion, and helps meteorologists form a much more accurate prediction, mostly for short term weather, but they can also see where the high and low pressure systems are. This image shows a hurricane striking the eastern coast of florida. Doppler radar uses colors to represent the strength and severity of the storm/rain, red being the worst and green/blue being the lightest, and of course where there is no color, it means it is clear.
