NetNews:
[NetNews: Recent news about additions and enhancements to Major
Weather-Related Internet Sites, brought to you by CASI, the Central
Atlantic Storm Investigators (www.weatherwatchers.org).]
The "Local NEXRAD Radar Wars" continue this week with both WeatherTap
and AWC considering image changes.
AWC has publicized their first try on their website:
http://www.weatherconcepts.com/graphics/junk.gif which adds less
intrusive city names and adjusts the color table to be more like their
old images before the conversion to Freese-Notis.
AWC is also claiming 3-8 minute updates... I was under the impression
that NWS NEXRADs were 10 in clear air, 6 in precip, and 5 in severe
weather mode. (Someone mentioned "hurricane mode", is that 3 minutes?)
WeatherTap is also trying some things, but not publicizing it on their
website (sample is same as it was). They are adding city dots and
names. I grabbed this one this evening:
