The new GOES-16 weather satellite (launched Nov 2016) is now fully checked out and delivering incredible resolution with a 5 minute update instead of the 15 min of old. Check it out. click play at lower right to get the animated version. It covers CONUS, so you can select other regions in the menu bar at left. There is a disclaimer notice since it's an experimental presentation of the data, so there may be changes but it is well worth checking out.

I'd only looked at this morning when I posted. Now that the playback is all daylight, it's incredible. It is mesmerizing

Talk about a rain shadow! Nice work cascades. I really enjoy checking this site. It was fun to see those thunderstorms come in a few weeks ago!
