Dynamic Placefiles
These placefiles may change periodically. Copy the URL to your GRLevel3 Placefile manager to ensure the latest version is loaded and displayed.
a year or two ago, Mike found that Allisonhouse, and perhaps other providers, Day1 Outlook placefiles were publishing a future version of the outlook in the morning updates. We created these custom outlook placefiles to avoid that issue. The "?lw=4" part is optional, and sets the line width in pixels which defaults to 2 if not specified.

Shapefiles
These shapefiles may be downloaded to your computer and loaded in GRLevel3 to display local roads. You may find these shapefiles for the CWA are smaller and load faster than the older state shapefiles published elsewhere. These were created from 2019 Tiger/Line map data. To install, download the ZIP files, extract into a directory, load the shapefile (.shp) and style (.sty) files using the GRLevel3 GIS Load Shapefile menu. Note: Shapefiles are associated with the currently selected RADAR when loaded. Each RADAR selected may be associated with different, or same, shapefiles. But you must do this for each RADAR.
