The NWS has recently updated their plans for Level 2 data for the coming future. Of major note:
1. The format of level 2 data will be completely changed next year. This means applications like GEMPAK, McIDAS, GRLevel2/AE, and WXP will need to have their decoders rewritten.
2. The radar will have a "super resolution" mode starting in 2008. But the NWS requires additional bandwidth to get it out to external users, and that is not currently available.
3. The San Juan, PR site will be added around April-ish of this year.
