Nothing amazing about this... the national weather service has been doing this already for about 2 years on their website.

Where are you pulling the info from? Regardless, this is something I didn't realize I wanted but have already followed the relevant ones. I don't like all the third party weather sites and usually rely on NOAA, but this makes it so I will see the radar in the morning. Cool stuff.
Data source: http://radar.weather.gov/GIS.html My GitHub repo: https://github.com/mattparrilla/wxGIF
Notice also how post-processing/filtering the data can make a big difference in the results and interpretation:
