They do have, at least at the moment, a link to a single GIF image for particular stations:

Elgin AFB:
https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/KEVX_loop.gif

Tallahassee:
https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/KTLH_loop.gif

From this directory:
https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/

I don't know if that will continue. As of looking at the first loop, it had some older data in it so it was jumping around when I looked at it.

I found that was still available because I have been wondering how the forecast pages at NOAA might link to the new radar product and took a look at what imagery they were showing on those pages.

Pensacola forecast page:
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=30.4208&lon=-87.2172

They use imagery from that folder above to show the radar thumbnail on that page. But then the link to radar data goes to that terrible new display.

I should note that I don't know if storm watches and warnings still appear, even through it says it on there. I don't see any storm based warnings across the country right now so I can't verify that they do still appear on that imagery.
