You can do this in flight with Foreflight just by using screencap in iPad. (Assuming you have a 3G connection – almost anywhere in the US if you have a bona fide AT&T SIM card). Otherwise shortly after landing, as this one was.
And not just in the US. Here’s a hypothetical route I did just now. Getting 3G in the air is a different issue, though…
(Skydemon shows cloud, but not radar).
Of course if I had activated my ADL I would not even be asking these questions since it would show the Wx and the route taken.

FR24 track perhaps?
Just looked at that and I would need a Gold Subscription which with a free trial I could cancel at anytime. However Ive been sucked into too many free trials that I eventually had to pay for for me not to be leery.
Do you think it would show my flight with radar overlay?
unfortunately that is beyond my technically capabilities.
It is beyond mine too – some hints here
It is quite easy to do this once you set it all up. It would not be hard for a flight planning support website (that offers tracking already) to generate an mp4 movie from your track and wx images fetched from the various archives 
For VFR flights you would download the track from FR24, or accept an upload of customer GPS data in GPX, KML, etc. The really slick option would be to generate a movie on Vimeo, but they would probably hate that

Im assuming you need to use your cell phone to do that and mine is incapable of sending SMS. (dont ask why) Let it be said that I will get my IPhone back from
those capitalist tricksters in the US after they unlock it.
FR24 track perhaps?
Ran into my first problem after registering. Put in departure airport and it comes up as invalid. Well that is not surprising as it is only
locally (in Hungary) known as an airport Jepp doesnt have them in their data base because the owners refuse to be tied down
to an airpot configuration. So they act like an airport, charge like an airport, but are not listed in the International AIP data base.
Welcome to the Grey zone of Hungary.
I was able to use RR and they gave me a Z plan from Tokol to Augsburg for an 0915 Z departure but due to delays wheels up were not
until 0944Z Can anyone access the info and make it work? N6589M
Too bad I would have loved to have viewed how I navigated the mess around Vienna yesterday
You can get historical / archived radar images from meteox.com and probably also from sat24.com for the IR images. These are real hi-res images, not pixellated satellite downloads.

Too bad I would have loved to have viewed how I navigated the mess around Vienna yesterday. I only had eye balls and stormscope since I forgot to activate my ADL subscription thinking late afternoon Thunderstorms as per Wx forecasts. Unlike in the US the controllers dont give you guidance regarding radar returns other than deviate as you think best, any deviation approved. Most of the deviation was IMC about 1.5 hrs Very curious to see just how well the SS did by itself.
The Wx conditions were between no rain and heavy rain. Turbulence between light to frequently moderate nothing severe. But occasionally good jolts to slow to 20 kts about maneuvering speed.
Thats my PIREP
