Try Nowcoast, radar with multiple layers of data...

https://nowcoast.noaa.gov/

That has all the things I don't like about https://radar.weather.gov/

The ridge gif loops load faster than the more complicated map starts to fill in...

I don't understand, I love radar.weather.gov. It's fast, works extremely well, lets me zoom in on an area even as it's animating, works great on Windows, Linux, Chrome on Android, what's not to like?

Even as it is animating?

The gif for an area covering a 2 hour drive in any direction loads in about a quarter second.

I probably got a little soured on it when they made it the primary path from forecast pages at a time when it was still quite slow.
