How does a Doppler weather radar work?

Everyone hears about radar during a storm but what does radar actually do?

Did not explain much about how it works.

Y'all just talked about tornados.

Like everybody else is saying here, this video does not describe how radar works. Instead this video talks mostly about radar limitations, and tornado warnings.

Please change the title of your video. It does not explain how doppler radar works. They mainly talk about tornados and tornado warnings.

Coalition Coefficient can help confirm if a Tornado is on the ground and how violent it is...
But yeah, it still needs spotted to be confirmed.

Dual function is to cut rain as we all can see the pie shaped cutouts in the Ridgecrest srw88d radome no rain

1:12 What is this 'new technology' they mentioned here called?

The velocity/wind display on the radar always confused me because I don’t see how wind can blow away from something. Wouldn’t the wind be blowing both, towards and away from the radar at the same time ? If the radar detects wind blowing in two opposing directions, they’ll both still be going towards the radar (or away for that matter). If I’m standing in the middle of a busy street, traffic will still be moving towards me regardless of their direction.of travel, so I don’t understand how the radar determines between the inbound and outbound winds when they’re both going to be blowing towards (or away from) the radar.

Sadly, TOR-Es are becoming more common
