Hi NWS-Norton Partners, At the request of our NWS HQ, we are forwarding this information: [image: NWS image] The National Weather Service invites you to join us on *December 2, 2020 from 2pm-3pm eastern* time for a briefing aimed at our partners who would like to learn more about the new webpage for access to NEXRAD radar data from the NWS. The new radar.weather.gov webpage (currently on a 'preview' webpage <https://preview-radar.weather.gov/#/> ) will replace the current page <https://radar.weather.gov/> on or about December 15, 2020. Through Dec. 14, the new webpage will run in parallel with the current one, in order to allow users the necessary time to transition local bookmarks to the new interactive radar webpage. NWS redesigned the new page to improve our radar services to the public and our partners. The upgrade will also move the agency of the soon-to-be-obsolete Adobe FLASH technology, used in the current pages for radar loops. The new webpage will deliver the nation's NEXRAD network in a more flexible geographic information system (GIS) format for easy integration into GIS applications used for situational awareness. It will also provide radar images more frequently and at four times higher resolution than currently provided. And, the new mobile friendly format allows you to monitor the weather while you are on the go. The webinar briefing will provide: - Overview of the new NEXRAD radar webpage features - Demo the new radar webpage - Open discussion among all participants *Please register for the December 2nd webinar at the following **link* <https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1977767841736098063>*.* After registering for the webinar, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. We look forward to hearing your feedback about the new radar page on December 2nd. For more information, please contact Gregory.M.Schoor@noaa.gov, Severe Weather Program Leader or Paul.Kirkwood@noaa.gov, Southern Region Technology Infusions Branch Chief.
