cursdar2 is a CUDA-native NEXRAD workstation focused on fast live Level 2 ingest, responsive 2D/3D radar rendering, archive review, and warning-overlay analysis. It is being built as a standalone successor to cursdar: same GPU-first mentality, much cleaner operator workflow, and a repo that can evolve independently.
