| You should be aware that some of the radar images you find on the Internet are
not as current as they may seem! Many Web sites charge a subscription fee to see
"real-time" radar. Other sites offer delayed images, often from one to three
hours old! Fortunately, thanks to the public commitment of many television stations, near
real-time radar images are available on the Internet for Michigan. Please use caution
with all images. The Internet and associated automated computer systems can have problems
that may delay the images. This could be dangerous when dealing with storms, since a
casual user might mistake how close a storm is. Always use your common sense when making
weather-related decisions. During an ongoing weather situation, tune to NOAA Weather Radio
or your local media outlet for the latest weather information. Always check the time
provided on the images to make sure of when they were updated. |
