The NWS radar display https://radar.weather.gov/ has been implemented as of Dec 17th, 2020! The display has many options, and may take some time to become familiar with it. This is a short tutorial on how to use the interface. See the following images for tips, and read on for more details and familiarization exercises/procedures. Here is a link to a ~15 minute video stepping you through most of the tips below: https://youtu.be/5Bcq_t_SvG8 There is also an FAQ page from the folks who developed the new radar interface. If you wish to e:mail the developers, you may use this e:mail address: nws.radarfeedback@noaa.gov. Here's a link to our local Central PA (KCCX) radar site.
