I have used Weather Underground since I first had Internet access.  I wrote a
custom script that telnets to Weather Underground and pulls down weather
forecasts, reports, and at one time - text based radar.  

I had turned that text based radar into an animated ANSI display so you could
see live radar movement in ANSI.  It was very cool for the time.

I still use them today for my website - mainly for radar and some forecast
information.  Everything else is generated by my weather station and software.
