It looks like Weather Underground displays Canadian radar data now!

On the wundermap, or somewhere else?  Still looks like Nexrad to me on wundermap.

On the Nexrad radar map. I just went to my location, hovered over the mini radar map, chose nexrad, and voila! King City radar!

Thanks Tony/Ann-Marie.
I wonder (no pun) what they will do with the wundermap product, if they will be able to integrate the two radars successfully.

   I hope they do not change the wundermap!  I love several things it does.  The nexrad I don't care much about but I love the skew-t's, cross-sections, fire, and other parts of it.

Wonder if it is a 'work-in-progress' considering Austrailia now shows up as a tab on the main Radar page?
The velocity data and multiple tilts is a big plus, especially out west where the lowest-elevation scan is terribly beam-blocked.  But what's with the 64nm range limitation?  The imagery on the EC website has a much larger range (but only the lowest-elevation scan is available).

iMap weather also has integrated the Canadian Radars into their weather display.  Hopefully this is a sign that Environment Canada has either loosened its rules on data redistribution, or reduced their fees to the point that more vendors can afford it.

That is excellent news!  Apparently they are working on adding site-specific displays as well...
