How do you roll it back to 6 pm?
I did find an "animate" button which I can animate back 6 frames. This does
not take me back to 6 pm (right now it is 9:54 pm EDT, 8:54 CDT). What I see
is a huge blob sitting on the western panhandle of Florida and some of
southern Alabama. I see a separate blob over Crestview, Florida. Is this
what you are talking about?
I also found a 24-hour animation button, but that hurries over 6 pm and does
not seem to show much.

If you have never seen what the spring migration looks like in a radar
image, you should look it up. If you go to a radar station along the Gulf
Coast, you can see the birds moving out just after sunset. You can try the
link below, which shows a huge "bloom" of birds. Roll the time back to 6
pm, then run it forward to watch as all around the radar station there is
first black then green shaded reflections, it grows quickly and is huge.
You can tell its not a storm because it does not track with the wind and it
grows much too fast.

If the link does not work, then just go to weatherunderground and find the
NEXRAD radar site. You can pick any radar station in the US and get images
from the last few hours. I even looked at one near D.C., and you could see
a bird signature, although much smaller than the Gulf Coast site.
You can do the same thing in the fall to watch the birds on the eastern
shore as they leave for the night heading south.
