I suggest you open a support ticket with Hifi.

They should be able to help.

This is a 02-20-2017 quote from Damian,over at the Active Sky forums," In short, the radar depicts things based on the cloud models and depiction system, and is 100% accurate, which is why it looks a little strange since the cloud models are presented that way in a cell wx environment. We have to change the visual depiction system to change this, and it IS something we are working on, but is not any kind of easy "fix"."

 

I hope they fix this,as it irritates the heck out of me...

I see the exact same thing with the towering CB type thunderstorms. Other type of rain looks much better on radar. Don't bother opening a support ticket, its a limitation of the software.
