The satellite link doesn't link to anywhere yet.

I guess that part is not ready yet.

Colors are often a problem. I notice the same thing on TV sometimes. There are so many different types of watches and warnings that when there are so many you can't tell what is what. It would kind of be nice if you could hover over each and get a popup of what it is, but that would be a lot of extra coding. Or, overlays of each image warning or watch type so that when you hover over a type in the list below it shows just that type, but that would require a whole lot of images on top of each other.

WunderMap at Wunderground still has a better map when it comes to interactivity:

(with "Severe Weather" layer on, but even that I wish you could turn some features on and off for watches and warnings)

The good about the weather service one is when you do click on an area you get a smaller version of the map at the forecast office you are looking at and it is better to make out the colors.
