Don't know if this helps or not...

I use accuweather for current weather details and forecasts. The radar on it isn't much, so I have bookmarked a local TV-station's weather map feeds, and just pull in the images when I want to see the radar that is updated every 5 minutes.

Works for me.

This is also not an "app", but I use the heck out of it dodging rainstorms on my motorcycle--I couldn't live without this link from the weather underground:

http://m.wund.com

There's a link to animated radar off this site--I have that bookmarked for the city I live in as well as a few neighboring states. Works awesome.

Right now i'm using an app called weatherbug. It shows temp on the homescreen, and when you open it, it takes you to the wb page where you can look at different stuff like animated radar and stuff like that. Here's the page where I found it. http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com...acker.html~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

WeatherEye isn't very accurate. Weatherbug has options that you set up so you can see your local weather stations~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

Ya, weathereye has been good for me here in the FL panhandle, and trust me, the weather is all over the board here. No radar though. But weather underground and accuweather are where I go for radar. and detailed reports. ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~
