      @gfroelich Thanks for the suggestion ! @ivo will definitely love your comment as it is something we discussed before many times (and he is usually the one pressing the feature into existence). There are many pros/cons in such approach. We are still considering it ;)

        Nice. Would be great to extend this to include the Canadian radar network

            @antoin43 Please post a screenshot of what you see after you tap the radar icon. However, I suspect your browser/PC might not support WebGL which is mandatory to display the feature.

                  It's great! For us birders (birdwatchers) raw NEXRAD data would be useful as it picks up on bird movements.

                  Thanks for making a great wind forecast website!

                    @oliverb Hello, no need to do that ! NOAA already publishes all their NEXRAD data for free on super reliable service -
                    Amazon S3 (it's where we download the data too). If you can do a bit of shell scripting, then definitely start by reading this article to learn how to download the data. On the bottom of the article there are great tutorials, but the most helpful (at least for me when I was starting with this) was this one. Also, in order to process/view NEXRAD data, NOAA's tools will definitely come in handy. You can find libraries for python as well. Feel free to ask for more details. Have fun !

                      Great feature, I think the scale should be labeled with rain intensity, not dbz, because most people didn't know what dbz means

                          @ivo Love the new radar, great work! Only suggestion would be an optional analog clock, it took me a while to realize how much time was elapsing as it ran.

                                  Nice addition but I much prefer the wind model.

                                    If it works out, how about adding radar for the Yucatan Peninsula and surrounding waters? ;) Kidding. (not kidding!)
                                    Thank you for all the great graphic info we use down here!!

                                        I love this feature- it nicely complements the windy one. Thanks.

                                          It's good for me. I love your software, hurricane tracking with winds is accurate. I have a weather station & wind speed is accurate to what your software is posing. Thank you again.
