NWS Rapid City, SD Radar Display

The radar display, located at the bottom right of our web page (listed as Local Radar), may not load any radar data.  A temporary solution is to select another surrounding radar by scrolling out on the map and using your mouse to click on another radar site (such as Billings, Bismarck, Aberdeen, etc.).  After data loads for the other site, use your mouse to select our radar site again.  This should load the data.  Thank you for your patience while a permanent fix is worked on.
