The NWS helpfully provides a page of the OGC compliant layers they offer, including alerts, warnings, and layers for the 200+ weather radar stations). These layers are especially handy because they can provide us with raw radar images for a particular area via a simple URL request (using Web Map Service WMS or Web Feature Service WFS protocols). While I upgraded to use a RaspberryPi Zero instead, the NWS upgraded their radar webpage to feature HTML5, an interactive map, and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant layers. Originally the Weather Radar began as a small CircuitPython microcontroller project that quickly got out of hand (as well as available RAM) using static radar images from the old NWS website.
