meteorologist david murphy brings us up close and personal. >> here it is, stormtracker 6 live double scan, 150 feet tall, perched atop high ground in bucks county scanning the skies for 300 miles across our area, though it's strong enough to see 500 miles away into canada. inside that radar dome, 18-feet across, is where the doppler technology lives and there's 1-million watts to power it all! that helps us cut through storms for the clearest picture. combined with our dual-pol technology, stormtracker 6 can give advance warning, up to 5 minutes faster, of how a storm is developing and where it's heading. 6abc was one of the first tv stations in the world to get this advanced system. here's why all this technology matters: instead of a traditional radar's basic view, stormtracker 6 live's double scan lets us see both horizontally and vertically, giving us a 3-dimensional view of preciptation. instead of seeing a rain drop as a flat object it can precisely determine the size & shape of the rain drop providing a more accurate estimate of the amount of rain reaching the ground and impro
