a camera in electronic communication with a controller;
a radar system in electronic communication with the controller;
a three-dimensional cockpit display in electronic communication with the controller via a synthetic weather system; and
a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by the controller, a reflectivity data from the radar system;
receiving, by the controller, a visual data from the camera;
correlating, by the controller, the reflectivity data to the visual data; and
