Would really like my show to show NOAA radar, would be handy on the road, e.g., https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/NCR/GWX_loop.gif.

well
I suggest you ask Amazon to add that to their alexa system

alexa is NOT an android device that developers can write apps for you to download

You can write skills with the Alexa skills kit.

X2 Alexa is a lot like Android, there are thousands of 3rd party skills (free and paid) for the system, and more every day.

For the OP Check out the recently released Alexa Blueprint system, it might offer something you can use.
