      I found an alternative to the Dark Sky radar. I decided to install the MMM-WebView module and place a National Weather Service radar feed inside (https://radar.weather.gov/region/pacsouthwest/standard). Since I have my Magic Mirror set to refresh every 5 minutes it’s possible to update the radar image often. So far, things are working well. The MMM-Webview module is well-documented and I was able to get it up and running in just few minutes. I’m NOT a power user of the Magic Mirror so the module documentation was handy. Congrats to the developer!

        @dwburger - Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out.

        You may also want to take a look at MMM-RAIN-MAP.

          @bhepler Well…the WebView works, but MMM-RAIN-MAP works better. Thanks for the recommendation!
