Yes.  The WMSRadar images are transparent (or at least they're supposed to
be) except where there is weather, so you can add any other maps you want to 
the mix by selecting them in the map chooser.  Just make sure that the 
WMSRadar.geo is set to have a higher layer number than any of the others 
(using the Map Properties dialog), and it will be painted on top of the others.
