radarUS block: image not loading

Post by danb35 » Mon Oct 06, 2025 6:32 pm

After a bit of a haitus using MT, I've done a clean installation of 19.0 on my server. Much of it seems to be working fine, but I'm having trouble with a couple of blocks. Here, the radarUS block--I have it set to show Jacksonville, FL, but the image isn't loading--it's stuck like this:

Where should I be looking to find the problem?

The problem appears to stem from the fact that the RIDGE service, which the US National Weather Service used to provide radar images, was decommissioned in 2020 and replaced by RIDGE II. Some radar products have been removed, and almost all have different URLs than before.

Thank you for the radarUS block update. Looks real good.
Please continue working on updating the non-functional blocks.

Next up is the Regional US Warnings, but I'm having trouble understanding how variables are being used there. I'm probably going to have to take it down to a single location rather than the multiples it currently supports.
