Video Integrator and Processor, which contours radar reflectivity (in dBZ) into six VIP levels:

• VIP 1 (Level 1, 18-30 dBZ) - Light precipitation.

• VIP 2 (Level 2, 30-38 dBZ) - Light to moderate rain.

• VIP 3 (Level 3, 38-44 dBZ) - Moderate to heavy rain.

• VIP 4 (Level 4, 44-50 dBZ) - Heavy rain.

• VIP 5 (Level 5, 50-57 dBZ) - Very heavy rain; hail possible.
