Which other radar sites have you been looking at? The NEXRADs are
usually up-to-date and have various options to select. I have lots
better luck with them that with local TV station radars; they are
on limited bandwidth links and bog down badly when anything of
interest is happening.

They're my primary resource, since I don't have cable at home or at
the office...
