Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I just noticed that the ridge/lite radar images and loops have been restored, with maybe slightly different URLs. The index is at: Index of /ridge/lite/ (weather.gov) On Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 7:58:58 AM UTC-6

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

For the moment I've given up on the NWS stuff and am using Wunderground maps. I've been able to integrate an animated loop into my weather page by doing the following: I started at: https://www.wunderground.com/maps For regional radar from Wunderground navigate to:

I ended up embedding an iframe (windy) in the radar.inc file and commenting out the lines that were no longer needed. This has worked great. On Monday, January 11, 2021 at 11:07:55 PM UTC-5 ral...@gmail.com wrote: > Anybody able to make the new and improved NWS radar work? Has anyone >

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

Anybody able to make the new and improved NWS radar work? Has anyone written code to build a dynamic link for the aviation weather radar? It appears to me that we need to enter date and time into the url for the radar. I copied the aviation radar link into my skin.conf and it appeared to

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

I just found out why my "http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/N0R/HTX_loop.gif; is broke, and, why I can't find the replacement. They redesigned the entire system (from something that was working fine) to what could be described as "the new Coke" of NWS radar services. This article explains it

I have been using these links: https://radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=ILN and=wui=18=15=N0R=0=1.000=0 wstorms=1=1=1=1=1=1 https://www.wunderground.com/radar/us/oh/cincinnati/iln Just replace the station with the one you desire. To me they are an adequate replacement

Finally got an answer back from NOAA. I haven't see this link listed anywhere yet. Images aren't the best, but it's something better than the .gz's and straight .gif files https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/ On Wednesday, December 23, 2020 at 7:12:15 AM UTC-6 Mark Jenks wrote: >

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

I just sent an email to NWS. I'll let you know the response if I get one.. Good Morning! For years, there have been many many people who have linked your radar images and loops to their PWS (Personal weather station) websites. I currently use weewx @ http://weather.mjenks.net With the

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

Thank you for looking into this folks. It sounds as though they have gone the same route as Environment Canada did a long time ago now. No more animated gifs available, instead they build the animations on the fly with overlays and a repository of images. The best I could do for Environment

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

I hooked up the NWS gif and it's worse than useless. It's hours old and shows nothing, flashes clutter, and repeats. Now, it should show nothing but the flashing of clutter is super annoying. As much as I'm pissed at WU, I'm going to use their gif while it's available. On Sat, Dec 19, 2020 at

The loops in https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/ seem to be up to date today. For example: https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/KMUX_loop.gif As such, that’s also an option, although these gifs are tough to get used to. > On Dec 18, 2020, at 9:38 AM, John Kline wrote: > >  > This

This thread has a nice solution (see URL below): https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40980.0 Terms of use: https://www.wunderground.com/company/legal (In the following URL, substitute your radar station for OAX. Set weewx.conf’s Seasons radar_img value to this.)

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

I use Windy in an i-frame to get the wind environment. Where I live in the SF Bay Area, wind speed in SF in the summertime will give me a good indication when and if it's going to cool off in the evening. Looks like Windy also has the radar data as an overlay that might be a reasonable

Re: [weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

I used to run a script to composite several layers using ImageMagick and archive them. The only difference now is unzipping the gz file first. Unfortunately, They have also removed the overlays from the web site. I haven't looked into it, but I think MetPy might be able to pull in the base

[weewx-user] NWS Radar Changes

I use the old standard skin (modified). The NWS radar site changed today and the optional radar graphic no longer works. Has anyone dug into this and figured out how to get the new site to work? It's no big deal if not - I'll take a look myself and post something once I find out how to make it
