# shell script to bring up a current local radar

# Sets a default URL BASE 
# NOTE: If you want to change this for your local area, go to 
# wunderground.com and find the correct URL for your area.  
# I modified mine quite a bit so as to only show the gif image
# with the full delay and number of images available.  The only important value
# that needs to be changed to get your area but have it look like mine is the
# "ABX" in my URL path.  For example, switch 'ABX' to 'LOT' to get Chicago.
