Please define what the term "NWS radar" means to you, with respect to what it did in UIView.

In Xastir we have the counties/areas affected light up as an overlay which can be turned off/on:
   Map -> Enable Weather Alerts

If you're looking specifically for weather radar, there are other options but I'm not sure I have those set up right now so others may be better at answering that question. I believe the ones I used to have set up may no longer be available.
