Weather radar.

Dunno about Florida, but up here all the sources you note come from one
place: the Doppler radar belonging to the National Weather Service. Do "local news services" actually buy and operate their own radars? Bob Gardner "Hankal" wrote in message ... Weather radar.

Do "local news services" actually buy and operate their own radars? No, they have their own analysis equipment and purchase the raw data, but the interpretation is their own computers.

Our local small market town in North Texas has their own Doppler radar

I use Intellicast, http://www.intellicast.com ,which in turn uses NEXRAD, which is a composite made from NWS radar sites. There are many other sources of NEXRAD. -- Dan C172RG at BFM
