For the moment I've given up on the NWS stuff and am using Wunderground maps. I've been able to integrate an animated loop into my weather page by doing the following:
I started at: https://www.wunderground.com/maps For regional radar from Wunderground navigate to: https://www.wunderground.com/radar/us The Intellicast maps may work as well, I've not tried them. >From the drop-down select the region for your area. In my case I chose 'KS - Salina', then clicked the Animate button. Now you should have an animated regional map. At the lower right of the image is "Image Link" which will open the animated map picture in a new tab (on my browsers). I used the URL for this image: https://s.w-x.co/staticmaps/wu/wu/wxtype1200_cur/ussln/animate.png in the "radar_img" setting of the skin.conf file for both Standard and Seasons skins. For the "radar_url" setting I used: https://www.wunderground.com/radar/us/ks/salina I used a similar approach for the satellite imagery. I navigated to the US Infrared page and then started the animation and right-clicked on the image and chose 'View image in a new tab' from the pop-up to get the URL of the image. One can narrow these images into a regional view as well. The results can be seen at https://www.n0nb.us/weather/ in the left sidebar. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
