1-Minute Satellite Imagery Where Radar Data is Poor

We are watching the Pendleton, Oregon (PDT) CWA this afternoon waiting for more thunderstorms to develop. I am finding that the 1-minute satellite imagery is useful where radar data coverage is poor, especially out west.

Our CWA outlined in white with the radar coverage mapping. Shows a void in radar data across the southern part of our CWA.
