Best way to view animated weather radar

What is the best way to view an animated image of the local weather radar? I found an app that pulls the latest image and works great, but I'd like to view an animated image showing the past hour(s) and current image. Is there an application that works well for doing this or a website that works well and does the same?

i set my IE home page to http://images.intellicast.com/Weathe..._None_anim.gif (case sensitive) which is the North East animated rain image and it works well. if you want a region other than the North East you can go to http://images.intellicast.com and find the one you're looking for.
weather panel works well, too, but i only use it on my Titan

This is on a Toledo, Ohio TV stations web site. A couple stations in the area use the same application. I just use it as a browser favorite. The radar has been quite accurate in my experience. You can change to any city across the U.S.A. Not sure where you are located, but you can give it a try.

Try this:http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/dow...her-radar.html It gives you a radar image based on your gps position. You can have it loop animation and zoom in and out.Pretty cool app for free.

How much of a drain on battery would this present? I would think significant.

+1 to accuweather.com. After navigating to the animated radar page, add it to your Favorites so you can go straight to it in the future. Total no-brainer.
