OT rain radar (USA)

I suppose few people enjoy watching the rain roll by, but just in
case. If you live here in the United States, you can use the
National Weather Service to do so. It can be very useful if you do
outside activity frequently, especially when rain is predicted.

or

http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?
And click on the "Rainfall: 1-Hour Total... Loop" on the left-hand
margin.

You can get that for any city in the United States (name a city and
I will locate the page for you). And if you check the AutoUpdate...
box at the bottom of the radar, it will automatically grab the next
frame every six minutes. I think it's ten frames six minutes apart
for a total of one hour prior rainfall. Gives you a very good idea
of whether you will get rained on when you go outside for an hour or
two.

I think it requires Flash and Java.

By the way. As you frequently top post a single line reply, you
should probably press Ctrl+A and Delete since you aren't using the
