WASHINGTON - Last week, the National Weather Service launched its first new website for radar imagery since the early 2000s, touting it as a major upgrade. The public did not see it that way. Horrible, really low quality work, very very buggy, unusable, absolutely terrible, not ready for public release, garbage and the worst represent a sample of complaints from users on social media since the radar.weather.gov site went live.
The new radar website, which shows where it s raining and snowing across the U.S. along with other radar products, was intended to be an improvement from the legacy site, boasting a load of new features, according to the National Weather Service.
