There’s an app for that: “Solar Eclipse Timer” by Foxwood Astronomy.
That app doesn’t have anything for cloud cover radar and planning a viewing location. Ya goof.
hey, as this card is no longer maintained, did someone manage to get it to show not only past, but forecast images as well?
What a good idea, thanks for the suggestion. Took 5 minutes to setup and looks great using the NWS service.
Nice Card, did someone manage to get it to show only forecast?
anyone else using this in a panel view card? for some reason when i have it in panel view, there is a really annoying flash every time the loop starts over. doesn’t seem to happen in other views, not sure why.
it stopped working for me in Fully Kiosk. Time to move on and leave this behind. Last update was from 2022.

Same for me.
for me its working fine, but I have p[roblems customizing, maybe someone can help me to do it: i’ve adjusted height of the radar map, also i’ve changed width and color of the progress bar in Firefox inspector, but when I apply the changes in card_mod nothing heppens. Does somebody know wheres the problem? I’m not ann css expert.
card_mod:
style: |
div.mapid {
height: 400px;
}
div.progress-bar {
height: 2px!important;
background: orange;
}
move there where? I loved that the animation was starting without interaction (eg a play button) as all other solutions I found so far
On one device (nspanel pro) i get the html text and the card isn’t showing, but on the phone it work as usual…
I not know why not work only on the panel.
There is out there an alternative to this card?
Thanks!

@theRat I found this card after you stopped development. The radar weather card still mostly works but sometimes shows text (for me after upgrading from 2024.1 to 2024.8). Understanding this is a business, is there a fundraising target that would allow an update to the card?
Had the same issue while using Fully Kiosk with Chrome for Android User Agent.
As soon as I changed it (tried with a custom one) the card was showed properly again.

I can confirm this approach is working for Wallpanel as well! I don’t see any side effects on the normal operation of the app.
I had success using a Firefox user agent I found through Google:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0
Did y’all ever figure out if you could change the height of the radar portion of the card in a reasonable manner? Working through that same problem atm
Ive changed the User Agent string under Advanced Web. Is there something else I have to change? Its still not working for me.
Thanks!
did you find a working User Agent string? Used 3 different but all of them didn’t remove the string next to the radar
This is a great card! Can you make it so that snow appears in blue hues and wintry mix in pink? The RainViewer site appears to make this distinction (as does weather.com) but it all shows up as shades of green, yellow, and red in the map.
I figured it out. The RainViewer API has a setting for Smooth_Snow at the end of the URL, right before .png. It’s set to “1_0.png” for all 8 types by default. If you globally change “1_0.png” to “1_1.png” in /www/community/weather-radar-card.js (there should be 8 instances), it will give you the snow/wintry mix colors on the radar output.
Now, I couldn’t figure out how to clear the cache for the resource to reload the changed file, so I ended up creating a weather-radar-card (snow).js and pointing the resource to the corrected file instead.
Is there any way to specify an alternative zone or the lat/lng as a template? This would allow to display the current location on mobile devices.
