Is there an alternative that as a sweet radar screen as weatherpanel had?
I also noticed that the development for weatherpanel is just about dead.

I really like weatherpanel and would love to have it back in WM6
Please, im open to suggestions!

Weatherpanel has required a few patches of late, so an OEM hasn't been recommended... (I think it's finally stable, until 2009 at least.) For the latest patches go here: http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/index.php

It works under WM6, but all official support stopped years ago... A few dedicated hackers have been patching it, but it is close to end-of-life we don't have access to the source code...

The closest alternative I have seen is SBSH PocketWeather... I just bought this, and it offers a great deal more potential than WeatherPanel... It's graph function is about the only major thing I can complain about, but new versions are coming out regularly, unlike WeatherPanel...

I recommend using WeatherPanel for the time being, but switching to PocketWeather sometime in the next few months...
