Have you every wanted to control the radar? Now you can. Today
we launched our new online radar on kjrh.com. From the main page select
the WEATHER tab.
The radar allows you to type in your hometown and the radar screen
will center itself over your area. You can zoom in or out or scroll in any
direction. You can focus on any area you want, even other states!.
The software also allows you to type in a specific zip code or town name and
the radar will center there. You can swap radar for satellite and do your own
nowcasting if you desire.
You can also select the current conditons or get a 5 Day forecast for
any specific area. It's worth checking out.
About a month ago the boss sent me to Norman to meet the folks
who designed, built, and support this interactive product. They have
more applications coming in the future, but what they came up with,
is really amazing.
You know it wasn't too many years ago live radar was added to
our web site. Before that it was a frame grab with old data. What a
difference. I encourge you to check it out and let me know what you
think.
It may be more interesting with an active radar. That comes Thursday!
Take care,
Dan
