All of them. Something like 155 stations.

As much as I want to keep the image smoothing on those radar images I can't right now. That filtering process was kicking the server's ass. And thats saying something. I have a dual core server and it was having problems keeping up. Without that I can try and update the images every 6 minutes. The script takes 2 minutes or less per set to run. With the filter enabled it was taking 6 to 7 minutes per set. Sometimes a little more. That was maxing out the processor. This setup uses MUCH less. If we can ever get a sponsor for the site I'll get at least one if not two dual core servers just for processing the radar images. In the mean time I am going to try and custom design a filter to really clean up the images and make them perfectly smooth.
But on the up side I'm almost done with the radar system and radar loops. It should be a couple more days and it will be live.

I have the radar system up and running. I am still populating the map with the stations so you can click on them. It will take me a couple days to get all the stations on the map. But you can start using the ones I have already loaded.
The radar service is available by clicking the Radar Stations link in the menu on the left.
Be sure to use our exclusive feature that allows you to download radar animations. While most places go out of their way to keep you from getting the radar loops. We go out of our way to make sure you can get them. You are free to download any of the radar images and radar animations and use them on your site.

Ok until I can get a better server (colocate one of the machines I have at home) I have to turn the radar off. It is just too much additional for the server to handle. Just not enough processing power.
