The four panel image below shows composite reflectivity (upper left), MRMS MESH (upper right), reflectivity at -20C (lower left), and merged azimuthal shear (lower right). One can quickly compare the bowing segment on radar and quickly relate that to the azimuthal shear image. With somewhat high values along the leading edge of suspected winds, this may be useful in monitoring areas of damaging winds in bow echoes and squall lines.
