Default Storm Predator - Nexrad Doppler Radar Tracking Software - Review - Questions

Hello, I was quite excited to download a new program called Storm
Predator. I got it off downloads.com and its basically a program
which downloads Nexrad doppler radar data and has a bunch of nifty
utilties. If you click on a spot on the radar map it will tell you
all sorts of details about the rain intensity on that pixel. It lets
you guage distances on the map by click and dragging a line, and even
lets you calculate ETA of the storm based on distance and storm speed.

This stuff is all pretty cool, but I'm not completely satisfied with
the program. My main gripe is the interface, which is based on a
circular radar screen, which should be a square window. The buttons
are all arrayed around the round screen and it ends up trying to look
so cool that its not practical.

I was wondering if there are any other programs out there that
download nexrad data and allow you to analyze it? Any other cool
weather programs?

Thanks,
Dub
