Actually they have updated it and it shows the radar image as the flight was in the air. As you can see in this flight from four days ago it just shows the precip over south Lake Michigan. FlightAware > Live Flight Tracker > Pinnacle Airlines, Inc. D/B/A Northwest Airlink #2921

Yea flightaware is pretty neat in that it does show you what weather was present for a particular flight in the past. You can lookup past flights for i think 3 months if you sign-up (free) - and it will show you the actual weather/groundtrack for all of them.
I've checked out some of my own flights after the fact, and found that it gives a pretty accurate depiction of what type of weather a flight experienced.

The radar picture on Flightaware definitely takes a shot of the current weather at the time of flight. Just like someone said it probably takes the shot at the beginning or end of the flight. Maybe somewhere in between but it definitely taken during the flight.
I would love to see pics of the RJ that took the damage. It looks like they went thru that nasty red at some point.
