The first link has smoothing but the second link doesn't. The first link is the default. Then if you go to "Menu > Show Snow/Ice?" and click the button next to it to enable it, you get that second link radar imagery.

That second link imagery actually uses one of the radar layers from RealEarth. Here is that layer, as well as some other radar options, in the RealEarth display:

https://realearth.ssec.wisc.edu/?products=nexrstorm.-90,nexr1hpcp.-90,NEXRAD-Guam.-90,NEXRAD-Hawaii.-90,NEXRAD-PuertoRico.-90,nexreet.-90,nexrhres.-90,nexrdhr.-90,nexrrain.-90,nexrcomp.-90,nexrphase.90&center=35,-94&zoom=4&basemap=bluemarble&labels=line&view=leaflet

I'm still hoping for single site radar imagery too from NOAA's new site. These nationwide composites are merging all the imagery from various individual radar sites together. I like seeing data from a single radar site too. And also, switching between other things, like velocity data and rainfall totals. Rainfall totals can't be done on a composite map because the rainfall totals vary from radar site to radar site.

The "Storm Total Precipitation" image on NOAA's site for radar imagery is the "estimated accumulated rainfall, continuously updated, since the last one-hour break in precipitation." (from: https://www.weather.gov/iwx/wsr_88d#80stp)

That differs for each radar site. It might be a day, it could be many days of rainfall accumulation between various radar sites across the country. And the velocity data needs to be on single site radar imagery too. I had forgot about those. I would assume that NOAA will not do away with that on their site, so I think they will still have single site radar options.
