It can mean a few things, but the 2 most common are:
-in winter or cold weather situations, it means freezing rain/sleet, or a rain/snow mix
-in strong storms, the level of precipitation ranges from light rain in shades of green, up through steady rain in yellow, to heavy rain in red. Sometimes pink is used to indicate even heavier rain, usually a blinding downpour, and once in Oklahoma I actually saw them use black on the radar, which must be the heaviest rain possible.
Depending on the product, it can mean either very heavy rain or pea size hail, or winds moving torwards the radar site if you are looking at Storm relative mean velocity or base mean velocity products.
Yellow clouds on radar typically represent moderate precipitation or rain. This level of precipitation is generally not as heavy as red or purple clouds, but can still result in moderate wet weather conditions.
Yellow on weather radar typically indicates moderate rainfall or precipitation intensity. It is usually a signal of heavier rain compared to green or blue colors on the radar, but lighter compared to orange or red colors.
Man-made features like buildings, mountains, and large bodies of water can interfere with weather radar by blocking or reflecting the radar signals. Natural features such as heavy rainfall, snow, or severe thunderstorms can also hinder radar performance by causing attenuation or clutter in the radar data.
A type of radio transmission that tracks precipitation is called weather radar. Weather radar uses radio waves to detect the presence of precipitation in the atmosphere and provides valuable information for weather forecasting and monitoring.
Depending on the product, it can mean either very heavy rain or pea size hail, or winds moving torwards the radar site if you are looking at Storm relative mean velocity or base mean velocity products.
The new generation of weather radar that is capable of detecting motion directly is called phased array radar. This radar technology allows for faster and more accurate detection of weather phenomena such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and other severe weather events. It provides meteorologists with valuable real-time data to improve weather forecasting and warnings.
Darker colors on radar typically indicate areas of higher intensity or heavier precipitation, such as thunderstorms or heavy rainfall. This can help meteorologists identify where the most intense weather is occurring.
You can see the Houston weather radar live on the weather channel of the city or you can go direct to the government website and ask for the weather in the area of Houston. Foxrad Storm seeker also offer a possibility to view the weather radar.
Yellow clouds on radar typically represent moderate precipitation or rain. This level of precipitation is generally not as heavy as red or purple clouds, but can still result in moderate wet weather conditions.
The radar was starting to detect weather coming.

A weather radar is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, estimate its type (rain, snow, hail, etc.), and forecast its future position and intensity.

When looking to find the local weather radar then this may be possible by visiting local weather stations on the internet. The News on 6 advertises that is has a WARN Interactive Live Radar.
Five free weather apps for iOS devices are: The Weather Channel Interactive App, My Radar Weather Radar, Accuweather, Weatherbug, and Weather Underground.
