Easy Desktop Radar System

Okay,
So you(I) live in a part of the US where there is alot of snow, and storms. You(I) need a easy radar system to use on my computer which will be updated and will be easier than loading a weather page online. You(I) look online and find some GIS radar systems but dont want to pay mega $$$.$$ for a good HQ GIS system. So lets go low(high) tech using free software.

Here is a small list of the software you need.

-Google Earth Download Here

Thats all.

Next you will need the radar feed, this is in the form of a KML file.

Use this link and select a few radars in your area using ctrl and clicking a few in your area. next highlight the long and short range reflecttivity at bottom and click submit.

Now once you click submit you will get a pop up box for downloading the file. Click save then save in a spot(see pic 2)

Next open google earth(once installed). Click file>open then select your file you saved.

Congrats, you just finished. You may need you reboot google earth but then it should look like the picture below. The image refreshes every 2 minutes.

Mess around with the KVM generator and try stuff like precipitation and warnings.
