[Xastir] make radar images see-through?

[William Gery]

I noticed that you are using the link that points to only one NWS web
site. If this site is down or can not process the radar data you will
not receive the latest image.

The Url should be 

http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/RadarImg/N0Z/ATL_N0Z_0.gif

The above URL is load balanced between the main NWS web farms whch all
have this data.

Also, If you know of a change in the that could be made to the gif image
as it is generated to help with its overlying, Please let me know and I
will be sure that it gets added to the requirements.
