Pete,

I can add the flag to ignore clear air mode.

Some other ideas are to use the ruc grids to mask the radar
grid based on boundary layer relative humidity, precip type etc.

I'm always reluctant to throw away "data", and many sites
in clear air mode do have data....especially in the winter.
But, if I can give tools and let the user throw away their own data
then thats more power for the end product.

Glad to hear that the program is useful. I really haven't gotten much
feedback (except from NWS sites that don't store their radar data in 
the hierarch used by the GUIs which makes things a little more involded to 
configure).
