Just as a follow-up...
I built this page a couple of years ago. Granted, it generally reflects my own idea of what's useful, but you may find it useful as well:
http://aviationpolicy.org/current_status.htm
Also, on the top of the list on the right side of that page is this link:
http://aviationpolicy.org/current_wx_pages_loop.html
It's a loop of current wx imagery with (IIRC) around 30 images which takes five minutes to run and then updates with the most current images again. I usually have it running on a monitor I'm not using for anything else. Lots of US stuff, but some world stuff as well. My only caution is to be patient while the page originally loads... lots of images to load up.

Edited to say that I now see that two or three of the image links in the loop need to be updated. I'll be on that in a day or so...
