Level 3[edit]

The paragraph on the bow echo referenced that it was a 'Level 3' bow echo, I deleted the term for clarity. Describing radar levels like that dates back to old 50's radars and does not have clear meaning for people used to modern radar parlance. The language describing the bow echo as 'weak' is sufficient without requiring the reader to research an archaic term. Bgovern (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
