Robert,

Aside from the textual values in NCR, you can plot the cell
information from the other products in their locations through
the products like NME, NST, NTV, NHI (though currently only hail size is 
plotted 
instead of probability). I didn't look at creating a parser for the text string 
info on the NCR. Hmmm....
