National map with radar and watches/warnings
« on: June 19, 2007, 07:01:32 PM »
Does anyone know of a site that shows a single NATIONAL map with current radar and watches/warnings?  I was surprised I could not locate one!?!

Those are just warning maps. He wants a warning map with a radar overlay.
I found this but it only has watch box's.

If you have some extra money to spend. There a fantastic program called SwiftWx. It has all kinds of overlays like radar, warnings/watches, convective outlooks and a bunch more. You can download street overlays and the radar will zoom down to street level. Only drawback there is a monthly subscription fee for all this information.


Thanks,

GRLevel3 blows Swift out of the water.


As to the original question, I just use SPC's site  Shows most of what you want, and just a simple tab-click (or hover) to get the Warned Counties outlines.

Here's a full, and I do mean full, size radar loop of the US. Don't now if it has watches, warnings, etc or not.

Ouch, by 'big' you mean about 3Mb for the animated gif.  A bit hefty for a routine-to-use graphic.  :shock:

Yes it is rather large. But at the bottom of the page are individual areas with their own loops. I like the graphics better as well.
