WSR-88D Super Resolution Radar Data Arrives In St. Louis Next Week

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).
