So, you're telling me that we'll be able to bypass NOAA/NWS?  Man,
where's it going to stop!

Tell me more about these NexRAD products, first I've heard of them.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say they might be Next Generation
Radar products?  Higher resolution than current data and so on?

If you have descriptions of the files and the format is not too
difficult, I'd love to take a stab at it.  Perhaps some sort of
GIS/CAD files with multiple layers?
