If you have the old address bookmarked ( https://www.weather.gov/radarliteloop?radarid=KILX ), it will be automatically redirected until mid-October.

The interactive, enhanced radar displays continue to be available, and contain several other radar products such as velocity and precipitation estimates. They are accessible on the Standard page by clicking on the link at the top labeled "Enhanced KILX Radar".
