When the page opens with your weather, bookmark page using your own title, BUT, you must check the "show in panel" box.
Now you have your local weather on the panel.
I tried that as well, but for some reason it only gives me weather in Australia. It only gives me radar of all of Australia. I think it's an AU thing only.
I decided to go with Weather Pulse. It appears to be working very nice so far. My only complaint is that the radar map is too big. I can't get a more local radar image. But I'm still working on that. Otherwise it's a nice app.
