The level of reflectivity shows the amount of precipitation. For example, if the radar map is a lighter blue, then the blue light is being reflected, or rather, is visible to the radar. This is usually around 15-20 dBZ, which indicates light rain. The higher the dBZ is, the higher the amount of precipitation is. So, 60 dBZ of rain would indicate more severe storms. The light being reflected at this point is more red.

I also would like to know the answer. All the weather sites have reflectivity maps but I have no idea what it means.
