First thing you need to define is what you mean by 'weather' and the second thing is what are your requirements?
OK, I shall be more succinct....

By weather I mean active cells, thats all I, and I'm sure pilots, really give a toss about. If a Stormscope in a PA34 can do it then I'm sure some form of ground based equipment can do it too.

My requirements would be to have a big, and I mean fecking HUGE(at least 30sqmm), button marked 'WX' about 4" bearing 300deg from my comms switch which, when pressed, would magically display active cells in my sector as a nice red 'lightning' symbol about 5-7mm in length and about 3mm wide. Maybe even make the symbol waggle about a bit so I can see it. If I press the button again I want to make it all go away......

Hows that for succinct????
