I just sent an email to NWS. I'll let you know the response if I get one..
---- Good Morning! For years, there have been many many people who have linked your radar images and loops to their PWS (Personal weather station) websites. I currently use weewx @ http://weather.mjenks.net With the new radar, this is no longer possible, and the .gz versions just aren't good enough quality. So I have to use someone else's radar now. It sure would be nice if you could provide an iframe code snipped that we could embed into our webpages. Or at least recreate the images and loops. This is what I have been using that no longer works. radar_img = http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/N0R/GRB_loop.gif radar_url = http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.php?product=NCR&rid=GRB&loop=yes Thank you!
