weather app data doesn't show precip

OK. Say that it's not raining within a hundred miles of my location. Open up the weather app, tap on the map, and there, in all its glory, is a moving weather app showing precipitation somewhere else in the U.S..

Now, let rain be immanent within a half hour or actually present. Open up the app, tap on the map - and no color coding for rain/snow/whatever. Period. It will say that it's raining where one is, or not, and maybe (somewhere else) make a prediction that there might be rain in an hour, or fifteen minutes, or whatever. But Zero Moving Graphics.

It's almost as if.. if people in an area are checking their Apple Weather Apps for Rain, this overwhelms the servers with Too Many Requests and, in my area, removes any graphical weather forecasting, period.

Other people seeing this? Is there a workaround? Or is this just how Apple Weather is going to be, going forward?
