Some Types of WU Nexad Radar Down?
« on: March 03, 2022, 05:10:34 PM »
Some types of WU's Nexrad radar are down right now, including type=N1R and type=N0Q.  Type=NOR (base reflectivity) disappeared permanently last May, as discussed in this thread:
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=41974.msg429340#msg429340.   Some forum members switched to NCR then, although N1R and N0Q also were options.

I was using N0Q but it quit working on Feb. 18, although I checked and saw it was working in other places.  I switched back to NCR (composite reflectivity), which continues to work. Then I noticed today that N1R and N0Q apparently quit working yesterday.  So, as far as I can tell, the only type that continues to work right now is NCR.

It appears that WU is finally cutting off all the old Nexrad radar images.  All that is left is the Composite image.   :sad:

NCR (Composite) and precipitation apparently still work, but for how long?  WU is being WU!
