NWPS Downloads
While the NWPS display allows for the use of interactive toggles with the image, NWPS data can also be utilized
within GIS software. This page links to "Shapefiles" and "KMZ" files (generated every 15 minutes) which are
compressed "KML" files compatible with several GIS software applications. A list of some of the software
applications that support Shapefiles and KML can be found HERE or, visit the NWS website Standards Description
Website which explains KML in more detail.
