From https://github.com/markjfine/nrsc5-dui#maps :

> Maps: When listening to radio stations operated by iHeartMedia, you may view live traffic maps and weather radar. The images are typically sent every few minutes and will fill the tab area once received, processed, and loaded. Clicking the Map Viewer button on the toolbar will open a larger window to view the maps at full size. The weather radar information from the last 12 hours will be stored and can be played back by selecting the Animate Radar option. The delay between frames (in seconds) can be adjusted by changing the Animation Speed value. Other stations provide Navteq/HERE navigation information... it's on the TODO 'like to have' list.

Is this an easier way to get weather info without Internet than e.g. Raspberry-NOAA and a large antenna?

If you live within the coverage area of an FM radio station that's sending weather radar, it will probably be easier to receive than NOAA satellites.

If you're OK with audio only, you cant beat NOAA weather radio: https://www.weather.gov/nwr/

You can listen with a SDR, or any number of cheap radios.
