Here's the NWS site I visit whenever I want real-time local radar. Once
it's running, downloading new maps for a different area, different view,

downloading lots of images (I have 6 Meg DSL, by the way), but what I'm
complaining about is the initial start-up when I see the Java coffee cup
logo for a half a minute or more.
