Default Current Satellite photos

Does anyone know of a site that has current satellite photos that have
a finer resolution than regional scale? Something on the order of
US "state-sized". I know that varies but you get the idea. The best I
can
find now is http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/satellit...=ALB&itype=vis
which is rather large.


Why do you want finer scale? If the resolution is actually OK, but you
are just trying to locate the clouds over the ground features, try this map:

Use the "Satellite" function on the left menu, select "VIS", select 100
% opacity to start, and set the sensitivity as needed to see clouds.
Also, the clouds don't show up until an hour or two after sunrise.
