Still waiting here for ADP and weather.gov to get their shit together and enter the 21st century.

What Flash content does weather.gov have? Their website visually appears a bit outdated, but it works just fine.

The looping radar views use flash [1] [2]. The composite regional radar loops don't though [3]. That is unfortunate because the former has more information and detail. There's no reason why it can't be reimplemented with canvas or SVG to manage the overlays.
