It looks more like the Chinook Arch than the typical Sierra wave. I'm
really curious if it's as useful.

Visible animation shows a sw flow but clouds are streamimg off peaks
in a streeting pattern, not perpenticular waves. Just a visual
observation....

I get a "connection refused" message when I try this site, something I
been getting off and on for a week now. Sometimes I get a "data not
available" kind of message. Do others have problems with this site? I
used it all summer last year with no problems.
