Field notes
The documented workflow starts with a JSON manifest of available frames, then inserts a manifest timestamp into an XYZ tile URL. The page names Mapbox, MapLibre, and Leaflet as compatible clients. Its coverage notes distinguish radar availability from individual layers: lightning is excluded in Alaska and Guam, while rain totals are unavailable in Hawaii.
