The National Weather Service Doppler radar web page at https://radar.weather.gov/ is available. The individual NWS radar web pages (for example, https://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=udx) have been discontinued, so if you have them bookmarked, you will have to make new ones.

The page opens to a national composite radar image, from which you can zoom into your area, or you can select to view a single radar site.

Features of the new interactive page include:

  • High resolution radar images with more frequent updates
  • Additional types of radar data
  • Additional FAA Terminal Doppler radars at select airports
  • Adjustable layers and backgrounds, including NWS Advisories, Watches, and Warnings
  • Custom views can be bookmarked to save the settings
  • Local forecast available for the location selected
  • Radar data can be exported to other GIS software
  • Mobile device friendly
  • Images can be saved

A FAQ web page, web tutorial, and video tutorial explain the settings and provide guidance how to use the new radar page. 

If you have any questions about the new site, you may contact our webmaster.
