WolfStock1 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi all, Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but figured I'd put it out there. I have some links to nexrad radar that I've used for *years* (probably 15 or so), that now no longer work, apparently due to the recent changeout of the system feed - https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/scn21-96_sbn_super-res.pdf I used links to the gifs of various zoom levels that were put on the wunderground site, tailored to my locations of interest. I like them because they were super-lightweight (load super-quickly on phone even when cell access was iffy), and also because I didn't have to zoom around to get to the spot I care about (where I live, family in other states, etc.). It loaded just the individual frame, not the whole web page. E.g. here's one: They all show "down for maintenance" now on the wunderground site - most since 2/2 but some like this one since 3/2. Might anyone know of an equivalent for the new feed? Or do I need to just use something like the NWS radar page (which is decent I suppose but very klunky / slow to load)? Thanks. Edit to add: Here's an old feed from before it was changed some last year, showing a storm coming through last June. I like the simplicity!

Tried in Chrome and Firefox. Maybe I'm missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem in any browser (smacks forehead) OK so - the play button was just barely off the screen on the bottom - didn't see it, and the mouse scroll button didn't scroll down to it - it scrolls out not down when in that frame. If I move the mouse to the side and scroll down, it reveals the play button. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfStock1 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 So - found out the deal - just change N0Q to NCR in the link, and voila: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfStock1 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Well dang - looks like they've stopped again, as of last week. Was working fine for a couple of months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
