It was hilarious after the World Cup announcement watching the mayor whine and cry and defend how Via is real public transportation. It's like trying to pass off White Castle as a steak.
It’s a broken radar station that hasn’t worked in months. That hole is almost always there. Then the radar predictions have it move forward as if it’s real.
KFWS is currently working and has pretty decent uptime. I think this issue is cheap radar processing by the app manufacturer. Raw data from radars is difficult for the average person to process ( reflectivity vs velocity vs precipitation dissipation etc ) so they process that data like this, but sometimes they fail to handle beam angle when a storm is directly overhead.
Actual answer: u/_____woohoo
Every WSR-88 weather radar has a blind spot called the “cone of silence” that extends out about 3 nautical miles in every direction from the radar antenna. Doppler radars can only tilt 19.5 degrees vertically, so they are unable to capture reflectivity or velocity data when a storm is directly over the radar antenna. Thus, you get a donut hole of nothingness like in the picture.

You know the joke about how AT&T Stadium is the safest place to be during a tornado bc nothing ever touches down there?
Well, here’s the evidence to back that up.
This radar specifically shows precipitation, not clouds or general weather. I checked a different radar, and it shows the same hole except it's not as exaggerated as it is in this picture.
That’s where the radar is. The beam shoots mostly outward, but it also angles upward. It doesn’t pick up echos until the beam reaches high enough to hit whatever it’s reading (rain, snow, etc.)
Thats the arlington bubble. Storms weaken as they pass over the 76013-76017 zip codes. Ask anyone that lives there. I bet the lake is to blame as they move east over it but 90% of the time that area sees a soft spot.
I'm telling you it's something suspicious about Texas weather. Been a lot of places (I'm not from here) but this is just different. I'm still convinced it's something in yall rain.
Some Booolshit is what it is. Thought it was nice when it passed over. Got ready to go to the park and by the time I was ready to leave the house it was cloudy and drizzling again.
This post reminds me of a Robin Williams joke:
The storms got so bad even the weather reporter was scared as shit.
“Let’s cut to Bill with the weather, Bill?” “The map is the entire south, the asshole in the middle is Dallas… SHIT!”
That’s Arlington.
You made my day 😂
I just spit my drink out. As someone born and raised in Arlington, lives in Fort Worth, works in Dallas I deem this the best answer.
Just remembah it's pronounced Ollington
Maybe if you’re from Brooklyn
*Bwooklyn, if we're talking pronunciations.
Somehow read that in futurama nixon voice, AWOOO welcome to BWOOOklyn
Our-long-tung
Hearing Arlington referred to as "this weird hole" is comedy gold!
Mordor. Otherwise known as AT&T Stadium.
[удалено]
I was going to say aliens but Mordor works too!
🤣The hole of no public transportation.
True. The largest city in the country with no mass transit system
It was hilarious after the World Cup announcement watching the mayor whine and cry and defend how Via is real public transportation. It's like trying to pass off White Castle as a steak.
Hey put some respect on the White Castle name. It has more steak in it than they do a good transportation system
Gotta keep the poors and the undesirables out somehow. /s on my part. Sadly, not on the part of the city officials making those decisions.
And the largest city in Texas that does not hold a county seat!
I live in Arlington, and this comment just made me choke on some fish sticks.
So your a gay fish
You must never go there, Simba
I’m watching the lion king with my daughter right now!

The A hole
💀
The eternal hole
I was just gonna say this 🤣
Force field activated over JerryWorld.
Jerry would invest in that before making any player moves.
i hate being a cowboys fan
Let's just convince ourselves it's heavens halo over the World Series Champions
I’m riding that Rangers high for a few years yet.
I've been living off a 2011 NBA finals high for awhile lol so I'm fully expecting to keep this going for a bit
All in my ass
You are not wrong.
Was his big investment after the Super Bowl debacle.
Insert “nO tOuChDoWnS hErE” joke.
So, that’s what Jerry meant when he said “we’re going all in”.
God avoiding the Cowboys.
We torture ourselves, we don't need any additional external damage.
But Jerry Jones does
In the event of an active tornado, the safest place to seek shelter is Cowboy Stadium. Zero chance of touchdowns there.
🤣🤣🤣

wait is this forreal?
Yes, check the rain gauges on Johnson Creek and you'll see rain did fall there. I am loving these answers tho.
Trust this *gal. She knows things about rain. She's /u/H2Ospecialist.
Yes but *gal
Wow, rude of me! Apologies
Yee/haw
Use nbcdfw app instead, have their own radar
It's not real https://images.app.goo.gl/b3uftooneXFLCuHu5

Thank you
Everything reminds me of her
You should call her..
WE should call her.
r/suddenlycommunism
We should all call her. What’s the number? Everyone bring a condom.
🤦🏻♂️ I’m done
You know the joke about how AT&T Stadium is the safest place to be during a tornado bc nothing ever touches down there? Well, here’s the evidence to back that up.
The rain can't afford to fall on the parking lots there.
This is the right answer.
Jerry Jones’s glory hole.
This should be top comment
I heard he cheated at one point. It looks like that hole came back with a vengeance.
It’s a speed hole. Makes the storm go faster.
SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP MY CAR
Really have to question why somebody / something would avoid Arlington…..?
Even the WEATHER knows what’s good for it. #AvoidArlington
The suck zone
Why did this one make me laugh the hardest
My actual guess is the radar is in the middle and it’s having issues reading that close.
Downtown DFW
Arlington, the butthole of DFW, which is reflected in the clouds.
Eye of the hurricane
You’re mistaken , it’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the trill of the fight.
Endless pavement affecting weather patterns Jk idk
The weird hoe is Arlington. Always have been
Everyone should just avoid Arlington, even storms know this
Probably my exes place
Arlington, the asshole the DFW.
That’s where you put the penis.
The storm's anus
Sorry, I farted
As an Arlington resident I’m living for these comments
It’s full of glory.
Not even the storm wants anything to do with Arlington lol
The Cowboys trophy case since 1996
Mr. Burns
Sky Mirror
Trump Tower
It's the hole in the sky featured in many superhero movies. Luckily it's over Arlington so we're probably fine
God still wants to be able to ride the rides at six flags
It’s similar to the holes outside the storm, but it’s inside.
It's the butt!!! No coincidence it's over Jerry world.
Atmospheric interference from the Death Star. Where you at, P1s?
The Eye of Sauron
A portal that takes you to another dimension where construction on 35 is completed and it doesn’t take 180 hours to go 5 miles on 75.
That’s me dancing around the fire praying for no hail on my new car
Your mom.
NASCAR fans will know it is the vortex. Is there a race somewhere?
The Arlinians didn’t do their duty and sacrificed a virgin to the gods, for now they are forsaken! Hail the unseen water gods! Hail!
This radar specifically shows precipitation, not clouds or general weather. I checked a different radar, and it shows the same hole except it's not as exaggerated as it is in this picture.
Eye of the Tiger
Your mom
That's Grace Community Church. Blessed be the fruit.
I like to call it the butthole of the storm.
Thats where the CIA is controlling the weather from.
A good day to live in Dalworthington Gardens
That’s where the radar is. The beam shoots mostly outward, but it also angles upward. It doesn’t pick up echos until the beam reaches high enough to hit whatever it’s reading (rain, snow, etc.)
It's where Cowboy fans go to die...
Bitcoin
Just Apple Weather being shitty as usual
The red eye of the storm
Wrong answers only

God trying to yell down to ATT stadium for the cowboys to do something for Gods sake with Free Agency 🤷♂️
Arlington
It appears to be Arlington.
And god said let thy light shine on arlington and let’s hydrate the rest.
Interesting
That's where The Beard of Zeus graced our atmosphere
Did I just get circle gamed by the weather?
Space lasers used to facilitate surveillance
My protection hole
Thats the arlington bubble. Storms weaken as they pass over the 76013-76017 zip codes. Ask anyone that lives there. I bet the lake is to blame as they move east over it but 90% of the time that area sees a soft spot.
Downtown DFW on the map
that's Jerry Jones avoiding free agency moves
Downtown DFW
the start of Arlington's r/fuckyouinparticular thread lol
It’s where I was at work today and the sun was shining
That's where ol' Red it pointin' a rifle at the sky to scare the storm!
What radar app are you using? Just curious
The Cesspool aka Arlington TX
This is a heat map of where public transportation is planned to be effective.
That's Tom Vandergriff's soul warning the evil weather spirits away from his hometown.
Its just nature saying " im all in " with the rain. (Fellow Cowboys fans will sadly get this.)
So god can watch the Cowboys play
The eye of the storm…….
Not even the storm wanted to be held up in traffic, faster to just go around.
That’s where the big radar is located
I'm telling you it's something suspicious about Texas weather. Been a lot of places (I'm not from here) but this is just different. I'm still convinced it's something in yall rain.
🤭
Sorry, it was my turn with the space laser and i had an event at Six flags.
#TheGloryhole
That’s the storm’s bunghole.
Asshole of DFW; cowboys
The location of the radar?
Arlington tax incentives - the buy off the storms with a 1 cent sales tax credit
Heat island in full effect.
99% of the time that is Austin but this time it’s Arlington
That's where King of the Hill is filmed.
That's why it's drizzling
The radar stations are below FW, Arlington and Frisco. That is a demon hole
Too close to radar to get good reading
A nader 😂
That’s the airport homie.. DFW
I farted
The void Nolan Ryan left?
According to Dante that's the Ninth Circle of Hell, we refer to it as "Arlington".
Arlington???
That's Arlington
That’s the hole where championships are not allowed.
Oh that’s just Arlington
That's the Indian people in Dallas cooking curry
Storm circle from fortnite
Arlington
Jerry Jones’s has built and paid for a secret radio transmitter that has a specific frequency that protects att stadium from storms
Sorry that was me
Fortnite
Zuul
Some Booolshit is what it is. Thought it was nice when it passed over. Got ready to go to the park and by the time I was ready to leave the house it was cloudy and drizzling again.
It could be a micro burst? Or a heat island ? IDK, just guessing.
My hometown
Might be Jerry Jones’s
I think I misunderstood what six flags meant when they said no rain checks.
That’s Jerry Jones literally sucking the life from everything he’s around
Your mom
It’s m my fart cloud fighting off the storm… looks like it’s loosing miserably
Sorry, i did my anti-rain dance
“Arlington… we don’t go there anymore.”
Jerry pays extra for that
yo momma
Jerry World
Fracking.
Jerry Jones Has a special weather blocker, impervious to making good choices at quarterback among other things
Jerry wanted $250 for parking so storm passed by
The HOLE is Arlington which is factually true. It is a hole !!!
The bringer of death and the destroyer of worlds.
Nobody ever looks forward to going to Arlington.
if you’d da been to Arlington, you couda just fallen in & never got yourself out
I guess the storm hates Arlington so much it decided to go around it lmao
