MQTT can be the tricky bit because some of the freebies out there have 
limitations which your weewx may hit pretty quickly. If you're thinking of 
trying to host your own MQTT, I'm working on a write up for how mine is 
setup.

I chose windy.com because it's free and you can do a fair amount of 
customization. Except for the map color - gray is the only option... Looks 
like you can only have wind, or cloud. The cloud option looks like it may 
show both actually. 

Change the lat/lon for your area, but the bit I changed (and got lucky 
with) was overlay=wind

https://embed.windy.com/embed2.html?lat=-26.195&lon=138.560&zoom=5&level=surface&overlay=wind&menu=&message=&marker=&calendar=&pressure=&type=map&location=coordinates&detail=&detailLat=-26.195&detailLon=138.560&metricWind=default&metricTemp=default&radarRange=-1

You're not married to windy though, if you find another radar you like, you 
can use that instead. Just use the full HTML of <img 
src="http://thesite/radar.gif";> or something and making sure the width and 
height matches the parameters for an easy swap out.
