Michael et al:
I am not sure if I want to turn this into a major computer code building
project.
What is simple is this, to locate the correct URL link such as
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/floater_band.php?stormid=AL182024&band=EXTENT3&length=240
the tricky part is the AL18202 reference to this mesoscale animation, it
has to be found out someway, and I am sure the brower links can do it.
But the cache of a regular browser, say Firefox, has to be loaded up
with the jpeg files around 2 meg each, before these jpegs can be
assembled into a video by ffmpeg.
I am not sure how to even automate that?

It has lots of tools to deal with decoding html and reading content.
