Thursday morning we'll get satellite images every ~8 minutes

the GHCC...I never use the NOAA site...because it's 30 minutes. It's always 15 minutes on the conus shots at GHCC...and when a storm is close...it "goes" down to 5-10.

Thanks AFM

I have this problem where I only get a small image--usually sort of the NW corner of where I clicked--at GHCC. Any advice? Do I have something installed wrong? It's like I only get a quarter of the image.

Are you using the 1KM maps? If so...I have no idea.

[wjs3]

Yep. Strange. Must be a problem with my Java. Thanks anyway.

Bumped this because I'm curious if the downtime with the image updates is due to the change being implemented. I still only get a 0415Z last frame on the site....

Same here, I was wondering what the deal was.

Same here. I thought I was losing my mind. I use GHCCSat which gets it's images from that link above, but my last image is 0415Z.

Click where the specific storm is at, and you will get the zoomed in version..

[wjs3]

I do that (this worked for me through the end of last season). To give you an idea, if I click on Dennis' eye, I will only see his NW quadrant, and only in the upper left portion of my screen. Looks like it's just not filling in the remainder of the image.

Anyone else have this problem with GHCC?

That site hasn't been working for me all morning. No updates since 3:45 utc.

[Pebbles]

no this morning we are getting images from last night... it's strange never have had this problem before. Either am not getting or getting old images from NOAA today.

<P>It's good to know that it's not just me. I am curious as to where the storm passes in relation to Jamaica and at least for now, I'll just have to take someone's word for it.

Here is a very good Closeup loop that really shows the eye and the northwest movement well.

[Wpwxguy]

Nope, site not working.

[Droop12]

I think he's back on track moving WNW and may skirt the Northern Jamaica coast.
