Why did you change the radar site?

The old website used very outdated technology, including Flash, which will stop working after December 31, 2020. The new website offers higher resolution data, more radar products (including both local and national radar imagery), and works on all platforms including smartphones and tablets.

Alternative Radar Sites

Developers are working to improve the performance of the new radar site, but at times you may notice the site being slow to load images. If this is the case, some alternative NWS radar resources include:

https://preview-radar.weather.gov/ - The "Preview" version of the new radar site.
https://www.aviationweather.gov/radar - NWS Aviation Weather Center Radar Imagery display
https://www.aviationweather.gov/radar/plot?region=msp - NWS Aviation Weather Center Radar - Regional Zoom (Best for low bandwidth connections)
https://nowcoast.noaa.gov/ - NOAA nowCOAST
https://www.weather.gov/dlh/sst - Experimental Severe Storm Tracker (Zoom in and click "Change Domain" to load higher-resolution imagery.)
