Wunderground.com has a very nice radar image that gives near-real-time animation of local weather. And its pretty accurate. See https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=43.24&lon=-71.51&radar=1 for the current weather my area.

It would sure be nice if something like this can be integrated as a layer on the map.

It looks like WeatherUnderground provides a few layers we might be able to use:

Radar: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=layers/radar Satellite: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=layers/radar-satellite Radar+Satellite: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=layers/satellite

Another option: https://openweathermap.org/api/weathermaps

Not sure which is best. I like the OpenWeatherMap licensing, but it does require using an API key. Not sure about Wunderground.

Yea it would be worth digging in a bit further - and seeing what other options exist too. I think a lot of map layer providers are moving toward API key requirements these days (Google just made it a requirement too).
