National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office

The National Weather Service made some minor updates to the way in which NWS radar pages loop. The software responsible for looping NWS radar images transitioned from Java to Flash.  The most notable changes are:

 

1)      Adobe Flash is now required rather than Java.

2)      Right mouse click does NOT zoom out.

3)      When looping images, a small function Key exist at the bottom of the image.  This key describes the looping functionality.  To summarize, when looping:

a.       Left Mouse Click zooms IN one frame.

b.      Cntrl – Left Mouse Click zooms OUT one frame. 

c.       Alt – Left Mouse Click zooms OUT completely.
