The XM from what I have seen is similar to what you see on weather
computer in FBO, with similar delays. What you get on Stormscope is
where electrical activity exists right now, which normally is where
the worst bumps are located. Radar tells you where rain is right now,
but doesn't tell you much about what is behind the first line of rain.
XM is strategic planning info. Stormscope and radar are tactical tools
when planning or weather behavior isn't as good as you hoped.
