The
National Weather Service in St. Louis (WFO LSX) will soon be receiving
super resolution (super-res) radar data. The scheduled installation of
this new software, weather permitting, is Tuesday, May 27th.
Super
resolution radar data will improve NWS warning operations by giving
forecasters a more detailed picture of thunderstorm structure and its
severe potential. For more information on super-res radar data click here.
Initially,
the data will not be available on any NWS website. However, some third
party vendors will be distributing the super-res radar data. Please
check with your vendor for availability.
Below are examples of the difference between legacy radar data (left) and super-res (right).
