New Radar Web Pages

 

The NWS is now offering another way to access NEXRAD radar data. A new webpage called Local Standard Radar has been added as an option under our radar menu.  Local Standard Radar provides low bandwidth users a reliable, fast loading website for radar images, radar loops, and warning polygons in effect (Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm and Flash Flood Warnings). The new site offers reflectivity only and defaults to the most recent loop (10 frames; last 45 minutes) from any individual WSR-88D radar. Radar loops and images are automatically updated every five minutes.

 

The three Radar menu options are now:

 

Regional/National Standard Radar

 

Local Standard Radar

 

Local Enhanced Radar
