Restoring NOAA/NWS radar access
Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2021 3:15 pm
Some of you may have noticed that the "NOAA Weather Server" choice under radar sources (in Prefs) is not working (since May or so). NOAA has changed some of the URLs for their products. I have poked around and gotten the new addresses to restore NOAA access to radar data for DA.
The COD radar choice does work, but not for Alaska, and perhaps only for BREF1. You may have to change your scripting for radar "get" to BREF1 instead of 248 mi. for either source -- Doesn't matter, because it appears the BREF1 now is 248 mi. anyway. No loss.
If you want the .rad file to gain re-access to NOAA/NWS radar, let me know. I can send it to you.
