US National Weather [RADAR] Animated
US National Weather Animated
"A very good visual way to mix Openlayers and Google Maps with near real-time Radar information"
Animated Weather and Hazard Warning (Fire Risk, Flash Flooding etc)
Very Smooth and Animates in near real-time over the next 24hrs
Speed of animation can be controlled as is the Opacity of the overlays.
Individual Weather Monitoring Stations can also be displayed
At the time of this post South Dakota has Flood warnings across the state

Feedback Survey - Good to see they want feedback from users

KMZ Overlays for Google Earth (and Other KMZ accepting applications)
"While the RIDGE radar display allows for the use of interactive toggles with the image, RIDGE images can be best utilized with GIS software. This page allows you to create "kmz" files which are compressed "kml" files compatible with several GIS software applications"
