The problem I find with the Weather Network radar "forecast" is it simply takes the last available reading on intensity and direction, and just keeps moving that snapshot along for the next few hours.
It doesn't factor in new storms popping up (as they always do), other storms fizzling out, changes in direction and intensity, etc.
Last night, for example, got really severe really fast - nothing in the afternoon would've drawn that path or intensity because it didn't exist yet.
WMI Radar is great because it gives you some great information like the height of the cells, and whether cloud seeding planes are up (if they are seeding a cell, then it has a better chance of producing hail).
Very tall cell? Seeding planes up? Heading your way? Say a small prayer for your garden, roof, and vehicle.
