Radar In Motion is a Dashboard widget that grabs radar images from the Weather Channel or NOAA and displays the animation. One can access the radar for a given city in the United States or get a regional map, including several international maps. The widget has options for displaying and updating the maps, including weather alerts and the ability to save maps for a specified period of time.
Version 2.5.3: The Weather Channel changed some things in the format of their pages, meaning Radar in Motion broke if you tried to access a new map or load the widget for the first time. I’ve compensated with Radar In Motion 2.5.3.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

ANONYMOUS RIM behaves strangely on Powerbooks when not connected to the internet. It displays the question mark icon and the progress bar loops over and over. What *should* happen is that the last set of maps should be retained until the next connection to the internet. As it is, it appears very unpolished. (Version 2.0)
