Hi List, Some one on hear gave me a link last year, from the NWS, where all national radar data is kept for 5 days,
You just type in the city, date and time and you get that radar image. I saved it some where but can't find it right now. maybe someone still has it. Will keep looking. Data after the 5 days can still be gotten But is harder to get. Dave Myers ----- Original Message ---- From: Marc Fries <[email protected]> To: R.

All of it is publicly available through the NOAA website - your tax dollars at work, as they say. Cheers, Marc Fries On Jan 12, 2011, at 12:57 PM, R.
