Find the coolest way to view weather conditions/radar. Assume you have an entire 1280x1024 monitor to dedicate to it. Small service fees are ok, but more points for those that are the cheapest or free. Bonus points if it also has options for gulf coast hurricane tracking.
edit: super mega bonus points if the service/software also includes APIs for custom application development. |

I just walked outside, looked to the sky, and got not only up to the nanosecond climate updates, but the Doppler screen was much better than even 1080p high definition

yeah after looking around online a while, seems like most of the products people have come up with are just using the nws data, which is freely available, so i guess i'll just make my own stuff. already wrote a background service to nab my local radar images once every 30-45 seconds
