Sure wish this website would rendering in a functional manner on a mobile browser.
It's just too big for my phone (D4) and the top frame will only display in portrait screen orientation on my nexus 7 tablet

OTOH the old fashioned use of animated GIF sidesteps the "Adobe Flash is no longer supported in the future" problem that Android and iOS are getting in the transition to HTML5 ; NOAA's radar loops are mostly flash with some GIFs still there by functional neglect.

If Google managed to get broad spectrum acceptance of anonymous GPS data as an adjunct for official traffic speed data then I really can't wait for cheap atmospheric sensors in all our devices and what that will do to weather forecasting.
