Radar US Block changes

[dmgould]

Parts of the United States Radar (radarUS) block were not working as they changed to https. This is for those who want to change the block code themselves prior to block updates. I followed each individual URL in the code checking which have now been changed from http to https. Not all have changed at this point, but I changed over those that are now showing https. In the process I discovered the Ozone Concentration image link was broken, and Max/Min Temperatures image has changed to get to the current date. I have also changed those links in the block code below, and I'll watch them for a day or two to test that they are updating by date.

Here is a cut and paste of the code showing the URLs as they exist currently as I write this post. Some may change again. This group of URLs repeats four times in the block code for different setups, so all have to be changed. You can't actually click on some of these URLs of course in this forum as this includes code in between. Along with other forum members I'm trying to resolve some of these changes to save Jachym some time when he does updates, as he is very busy with his new job.

Thanks for the fix. Everything works great.

Thanks. The High / Low map is not updating with my fix either. I see now that the file name is date coded. That will need more than just a new link to get it back working. I also just noticed there was a short radar outage at many sites this morning, but it seems to be back up and running now. It looks to be a NWS issue not a MT issue.

I've further updated the images in my radarUS block. I found satellite images that include the east coast of the US. The original images no longer showed this east coast sky area - I believe a satellite failure that happened sometime back. You can place these in the code but remember there are four sets of URLs to address different display options. I'm also providing these in case Jachym wants to use any or all of them in his update.

Thank you! Great detective work @dmgould!
