WSR-88D Digital Storm Total Precipitation has been added to all single site radars.

This product differs from the traditional Storm Total Precipiation product.

• More color resolution
• Uses Dual Pole data to improve ZR relationship to better estimate precipitation amounts.

This is available under the NEXRAD Radars, under the navigation menu  ”Precipitation Estimates”

Here is a link to the Houston, Texas Digital Storm Total Precipitation. 

The new HMON Hurricane model which replaced the GFDL model model has been added.

For details on the HMON model, which has a 2km inner core, see this NWS/NCEP document. 

When a tropical cyclone is active from the HMON it will be available under the “Tropical Products” menu.   All storms from the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific are generated.
