Looks like UCAR made some minor, but neat improvements to their satellite imagery @ http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/satellite/
This will require some minor tweaking of the Graphical Data interface, but it will be in the final 4.1 release. Thanks to Michael Krisch to bringing this to my attention.
By the way, for those interested in using InterWARN and StormLab on the road, I finally got a chance to go out the other day using my Sprint PCS phone. Using a CD (to install modem drivers) and a phone to USB cable that I got from InfiniteWireless on Ebay, the computer dials #777 which basically sets the phone on data mode. We had an incredibly fast connection (something like 80 KBps) and were using InterWARN, StormLab, email, explorer and other software while cruising down the interstate. Even when hopping from cell tower to cell tower, the phone auto-reconnected within 1-2 seconds. The PCS portion is $15 added onto your monthly phone bill with no data limits. Minutes are charged against your plan which was free (nights/weekends). I know the InfiniteWireless drivers/cables work with a number of other phones, but just wanted to let you all know. We had a blast!

I think it cost me something ridiculous like $12 and is of excellent quality (the cable).
