I don't know what the state of the art is but I've also been looking for
an
inexpensive way to get near real-time nexrad while I'm in the cockpit. I
did
run across a service which provides nexrad images which are no more than 5
minutes old. Check out this site http://www.flightbrief.com/. AOPA and EAA
members get it at a rather hefty discount.

They require you to buy a one-month (refundable) membership JUST TO ENTER
THE WEBSITE.

Back to the drawing board.
