This Radar widget is based on an original widget built by Daniel Radtke.

This version includes:

• Configurable URL to retrieve image from
• Configurable retrieve interval (minimum 60secs)

• No frame around image
• About Box

User Software Responsibilities

• Go to the National Weather Service website and determine the URL for getting the "latest" image.

In the future I may enhance the program to allow users to select from a predefined list of NWS radars. Feel free to encourage this or other enhancements with some PayPal dollars. :)
