My vote goes to wunderground.com too. Their NEXRAD radar shows everything happening. If there's a storm or storms in the area, you can track it's exact course.

I ordered the little Oregon Scientific WMR100 and should be here tomorrow. Have you heard anything good/bad about that model? Which station do you have?
I've got the Oregon Scientific WMR 968 and I've been pretty happy with it. I looked up the WMR 100...I don't know anything about it. It looks like a good unit though, they make a good product. I've also got the internet edition of the software, but I'm not too sure what thet gets you now days. It does allow me to use Rapid Fire on my internet feed (big deal!?!?!).
If you put in your zip code in wunderground, the bottom of the page will list all of the private stations in your area.

Thanks Mike. The Wmr100 might be new so no real eval on the net yet.
I did check for stations close to me which is what pushed me over the edge on ordering one. Closest to me is 20 mi away and it's in the valley whereas I'm in the mountains.
All I see the internet version does is lets you upload to the WU site so, I splurged and got it. Should be delivered today

It's a handy thing to have so hopefully you'll get a lot of use out of it. A couple of the people around me also have lightning detectors which are handy along with the radar. I just watch theirs. Here's the national site:
