An automatic storm finding weather radar is disclosed that uses a storm finding algorithm to automatically control the weather radar to eliminate manual control. The storm finding algorithm uses the 0° C. isotherm altitude where precipitation is most likely to first occur to calculate an altitude search layer to find storms. The storm finding algorithm calculates the antenna upper and lower tilt angles and the number of scans to search the altitude search layer. A list of useable antenna tilt values is formed to drive the antenna controller. The antenna controller scans the antenna at the lower tilt angle and then moves to the next tilt angle until the search is complete. The search is then repeated using any new data.
