Since the iPhone currently lacks Flash support, getting animated weather radar from Weather.com, Weather Underground, or other common weather sources just isn’t possible. Here are some solutions that I’ve found to this problem. Simply load one of the web applications from below in your Mobile Safari browser and then use the bookmark feature to ‘Add to Home Screen.’ This will create a new Radar App icon on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
iWeathr
iWeathr is the best radar app for the iPhone that I have found so far. Navigate to iweathr.com and locate your nearest radar location. Note that you won’t be entering the city where you live but rather the location of a radar installation. For help finding the nearest one to you go here. This implementation allows both rotation and zooming in - very nice!
AccuWeather
AccuWeather.com also has a nice solution located here. This is a nice effort, but I prefer the simplicity and full screen nature of iWeathr shown above.
Radar In Motion
I’m hoping the developer of this popular Mac Dashboard Widget will create an iPhone app with similar features.
My-Cast
My-Cast is another nice solution recommended by Elijah.

I have yet to find any other solutions, but leave a comment below if you know of one I missed.
