Abbreviation for Bounded Weak Echo Region; a radar signature within a thunderstorm
characterized by a local minimum in radar reflectivity at low levels which extends upward into, and is
surrounded by, higher reflectivities aloft. This feature is associated with a strong updraft and is
almost always found in the inflow region of a thunderstorm. It cannot be seen visually.
