I hope you enjoyed using my app; I also hope that using Edge\u2019s ability to install as app will work for you as a replacement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To use Edge Chromium to set the NOAA site up as an App, navigate to the new NOAA site at <a href=\"https:\/\/radar.weather.gov\/#\/\">https:\/\/radar.weather.gov\/#\/<\/a> and specify your location.
