Radar - just want something simple? Show me where the storm, rain or snow is, and where it is going? We now have that option for you! Our “Local Standard Radar” imagery will give you just that – the basics – and it’s geared toward those with low bandwidth. Quicker loads without all the frills, overlays, or additive data. It’s like a hamburger without the assortment of toppings and condiments.  Basic, quick and easy.

If you still like to “slice and dice” your radar imagery, adjust backgrounds, overlays, or what type of radar product you want to look at, the “enhanced” radar imagery is still there for your use. Adjust it to suit your needs, whatever they may be. A lot of choices, a lot of options…all at your fingertips (or mouse click in this case).  

This new “Local Standard Radar” imagery, along with the “Local Enhanced Radar” and national radar can be found via our “Radar” drop down menu right off our front page.
