The 15 to 30 minute update cycle for CONUS satellite scans is too infrequent for useful CI as seen in the GIF above. A 30 minute gap was present before the one 60% CI is shown. The increased temporal resolution of GOES-R should be much better for informing of CI over a particular area.
As of now, radar scans, even in clear air mode, provides more timely updates.

2030Z update.
The best reflectivity over sern WI was only highlighted by the CI tool at the beginning of the GIF above (yellow blob). Since this reached the glaciation point, no further values were applied to the cloud cluster. Sig wx advisories (SPS) were issued for these cells as seen as violet polygons in the last image of the GIF.
