I'm looking at Hanna and Ike on Xastir, but each has a number of

please give me (and the rest of us land lubbers) the skinny on this,
tell us how all this happens.
Those are the three different wind speeds that are reported for each
Tropical depression/tropical storm/hurricane.
The rings show wx_whole_gale_radius, wx_trop_storm_radius, and
wx_hurricane_radius (Xastir's variable names for them). If you see
all three circles the smallest one shows the radius of
hurricane-force winds, the next larger is the radius of tropical
storm winds.
If the storm/hurricane doesn't get up to the max speed you may only
see two rings. Same for one ring if it doesn't make it to the
second scale.
What do you turn on to see these? I have the NWSRadar.geo on. Am I
missing a file?
