Yes, you read that title right. The National Weather Service out of Kansas City has determined the local radar may have detected the celebration from Royals fans after they won the World Series. The radar was in dry air mode, scanning the lowest levels of the atmosphere every 10 minutes. At 11:38, the radar lights up across Kansas City as seen below.

Some meteorologists think that the fireworks themselves may not have been detected by radar. However, they do think that birds may have fled the region during the fireworks across the city, leading to the radar returns.
