More information about weather radar and weather forecasting.
The radar used by the National Weather Service is called the WSR-88D, which stands for Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988 Doppler (the prototype radar was built in 1988). As its name suggests, the WSR-88D is a Doppler radar, meaning it can detect motions toward or away from the radar as well as the location of precipitation areas.
This ability to detect motion has greatly improved the meteorologist's ability to peer inside thunderstorms and determine if there is rotation in the cloud, often a precursor to the development of tornadoes.
There are 155 WSR-88D Doppler radar in the nation, including the U.S. Territory of Guam and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, operated by the National Weather Service and the Department of Defense. 2008, Exact Magic Software, LLC

Location unchangable if you enter a zip code! I just bought Weather Radar for my iPhone.Using location services it showed me my local radar. I then turned it off and back on and did not allow location services, but entered a zip code. Now I can't change location.

Used to be 5 stars, but.... There is a line of severe weather coming, the application now crashes, cannot locate me, and when it does is about 2 hours behind. Never indicated the line of severe weather on my doorstep. What's up? Was excellent until the last update...

Weather Radar Not worth one cent.Radar should be animated, or arrows showing direction!How would I know all the zip code in the USA? A better way, at least, would be to input contact zip codes, and of course city namesI am totally disappointed! - Weather Radar review by Jurg
Worthless This app is complety useless as it provides non animated low res radar - Weather Radar review by Teh Hoff
What the? This app needs some work that all i have to say it isnt animated or anything!!! all i can say is that you DONT need to buy this it is a waist of money and u are better off using weather bug! - Weather Radar review by asdfjkl;123344444
Skeptical and proven right... I gave this app the benefit of the doubt and was disappointed. The GPS integration was what sold me, but the lack of detail is too much to overlook. I really was seeking something to replace the bloated WeatherBug app and to augment the missing radar functionality of Apple Weather, but the rest of the reviewers are right, save your pennies. - Weather Radar review by Shane O'
It's ok but not the best It is a very simple weather app. It does not even show you water the colors mean. But it does a good job:) - Weather Radar review by itunes man 324
