MRMS radar on an interactive map:
https://mrms.nssl.noaa.gov/qvs/product_viewer/index.php?zoom=7&clon=-81.0&clat=26.5&product_type=crefls&product=CREF
MRMS radar map with 72 hour rainfall totals displayed:
https://mrms.nssl.noaa.gov/qvs/product_viewer/index.php?time_mode=update&zoom=7&clon=-81.8&clat=27.6&product_type=q3rads&product=Q3EVAP72H
At the time of posting, when trying to link to this it was not showing all the data at first. But then I looked again in a few minutes and it displayed.
NOAA radar, standard display for Southeast:
https://radar.weather.gov/region/southeast/standard
Key West short range which shows eye as of posting:
https://radar.weather.gov/station/kbyx/standard
Tampa short range radar, for later:
https://radar.weather.gov/station/ktbw/standard
NOAA radar, full interactive display:
https://radar.weather.gov/
A week ago I wrote some on my website about how to use this display:
http://tropicalatlantic.com/radars/#us
It's kind of difficult. For watches and warnings I use the NOAA display, though if it's for me I just go to a page I bookmarked with the point forecast for me from NOAA that you get after you enter your zip code:
https://www.weather.gov/
You can see which alerts apply to you by which are linked on the page in the "Hazardous Weather Conditions" section that appears above the forecast when there are alerts. Tampa for example:
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=27.9465&lon=-82.4593
For radar during ordinary thunderstorms, I either use the MRMS display or the interactive radar page from WFLA (NBC affiliate):
https://www.wfla.com/interactive-radar/
WFLA has their own radar and imagery is usually every minute. Though at the moment I see it's actually sometimes every 2 minutes. The negative, it's usually a 15 minute loop which is short. Though at the moment it's less than that. When there is rain around, I can zoom in and literally see if the rain is a few minutes away from me.
Brian McNoldy creates large loops of storms in real time here. Has regional for Ian right now. I would imagine he will have single radar site data later on as the storm gets closer as he has for some other storms:

South Florida Water Management District:

Watching wobbles on the radar can be misleading during an eyewall replacement cycle as Andy Hazelton said in tweet that CypressTX posted about. But also, it can just be generally misleading to determine movement from a short radar animation. But for Florida storms, this site also includes the NHC track on the radar image for the state. The latest and previous NHC track are on there. It is a great tool. If only NOAA still had satellite imagery that you could add the NHC track too like they used to.
To view a really long radar loop, you can also visit College of DuPage.
Florida composite radar, shows the eye:

South Florida composite, with eye on radar as of posting:
https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-S_Florida-comp_radar-24-0-100-1
Orlando composite, for later:

Any other good radar links? |
