Topic: Regional Weather Radar

Would be nice to have a way for local weather warnings to bring the weather widget to the front until removed for any tornado/severe weather warnings. Ideally a looping radar image...

Re: Regional Weather Radar

Or perhaps just a region specified radar image that could be added to the channel rotation.  (One similar to the radar image widget from Konfabulator/Yahoo! Widgets.)

Re: Regional Weather Radar

I am waiting for my first Chumby to show up and I would love to have a weather radar widget. I am not a programmer otherwise I would take this task on. You can find links to updated gif files and I would think there would be a way to use this info to create a widget.

Such as...

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge/lite/NCR/LOT_loop.gif

Can anyone help out?

Thanks

Re: Regional Weather Radar

Oh, those loops are cool! I haven't had a chance to completely install the development environment yet, but having the images available like that should make it pretty easy to wire them into a widget.
