<![CDATA[Radar Limited to Station Circles]]>All of a sudden, radar map data seems to only exist within a certain radius of each radar station leaving huge areas of no data. Just started today on both app and website. Please explain.
Thank you.

@vondeliusc
If you don’t show a screenshot, or at least say where you observed that, what explanation could we give ?

Mabelpoo shared a screenshot of what I meant. Now it appears to be 'fixed'. Between Spokane and Missoula was a blank area, where previously it was continuous. It is good now.

As already said above, this not real radar data.

You are probably right. The first post did not show a screenshot, and the second one with a screenshot was meaning something different.

Right now around Casper Wyoming is a good example. Compare Windy vs http://radar.weather.gov

These circles show the radius of each radar beam. It’s quite obvious there are not weather radars everywhere, specially over the oceans. Windy uses real radar data not radar-like data which are extrapolated from satellite data.
In the darker gray area there is no weather radar installation.
