We always use the National Weather Service site. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/radar_tab.php is a place to start.

The great days of a real weather guy at a local radio station are gone in most of the country, certainly gone in the non metro areas. Often they will read scripts that are hours old and can be quite misleading.
