Doppler Radar

http://data.strandvision.com/animated_weather_radar.html

This is a map with the weather in Minneapolis, MN. The colors indicate stronger or weaker weather. The doppler radar picks up weather phenomena by emitting microwaves in direction and listening to the reflection coming back. You can see towards the upper right of the map, the weather stops in the shape of a circle. That's the limit of visibility for this specific radar.
