Where to see this radar
The National Weather Service publishes no standard web loop for terminal radars, so there is nothing to show here. HookEcho reads the TORD products straight from the NOAA archive: reflectivity, velocity and dual-pol at the TDWR's own resolution, with warnings, storm reports and lightning drawn over the same map.
