I'm collecting some past weather model forecasts on my Weather Board...

Awesome with underlying map capability! What will the temporal resolution ultimately be? Seems about one refresh every 5min now.

Is there a link that zooms Warner Springs to Minden?

GOES-16 (or GOES-4) is the latest NOAA geosynchronous satellite launched last November. Data from it will become operational next November. This RealEarth link from the University of Wisconsin Space Sciences Engineering Center is a preview to the operational data. The "red channel" visible 0.64micro 0.5km resolution is the highest available and shown in this tiled web server rendition. However, update frequency will vary between 1 and 5 minutes when operational. Exactly how we'll get public access to this imagery remains to be seen.

Google GOES-R or GOES-16 for more info.

Just update the URL with lat/lon coordinate... and zoom factor for your desired location.
