Intellicast - A new wrinkle on an older commercial site. The window starts over North America and you can zoom in to youir favorite location. The maps are customizable and provide an (almost) up to the minute view of what's coming over the horizon. I use the "Storm" menus to watch Tropical Storms developing over the Caribbean
Weatherspark - A newer weather site. Nothing particularly new on the radar side but a great forcasting tool. Charts wind directions and speeds (customizable) pusd hed out
