Hi Terra...

I'm not having a lot of problem getting the radar data within about 5 minutes of the time of the image. Radar imagery is only developed about every 6-10 minutes, depending on the scanning technique employed by the radar (that's just extraneous info, though), and it takes another minute or two to process it and have it ready on the web. You may want to try to new enhanced radar imagery from the NWS at http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge/ to see if that works better for you, though.

Satellite imagery is usually delayed a few minutes, with the coverage only being about every 30 minutes outside of North America and 3 hours outside of the Northern Hemisphere. US imagery -- including Cindy -- is generally on about 7-10 minute intervals from the NASA GHCC site (http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/) and is usually only about 15 minutes or so behind on my end. Considering the time needed for data dissemination, I think that's about as good as you are going to get on those. The Colo. State rapid-scan site is currently inaccessible; you might have better luck trying later, though. Here's the address for that: http://www.cira.colostate.edu/ramm/rmsdsol/RSOMAIN.HTML. I'm not sure if it is over Cindy right now, however.
