Abstract
Predicting weather radar images by building a first machine learning model to generate first predictive radar images based upon input weather forecast data, and a second machine learning model to generate second predictive radar images based upon historical radar images and the first predictive radar images. Further by generating enhanced predictive radar images by providing the first machine learning model weather forecast data for a location and time and providing the second machine learning model with historical radar images for the location and an output of the first machine learning model.
