When you first get to this page, the box next to "Radar" will be checked, along with "Roads," "Road Labels" and "Cities." That will plot those landmarks on the map, along with the current radar superimposed over the top.

If you left click on the map itself, it will zoom in. Right click, and you'll zoom back out.

Along the left side of the map, you'll see the legend for the amount of rainfall. It ranges from blue and green, which indicates light to moderate rainfall, to orange and red, which indicates heavy rain, to purple and then white, which represents intense rain.
