Go to the top of the page in the purple header and click on the weather/tides/launches option. Scroll down to near the bottom of the page and look under the title of "Other Useful Links" and click on MODIS weather information. It will bring up a visible light image of the latest satellite flyover (updated daily). It overflies/updates the current days image about 1-2pm for our area of interest. Near the upper left corner of the home page is a date bar where you can select the day of interest. You can then hover the mouse pointer over the area of interest and select it then click the 250m zoom to see the bay more clearly. You will have to use the slider bars on the edges of the screen to position the image to your area of interest. On some days the sun's glare or cloudcover makes the image less useful but it has saved a bit of time and fuel when I was interested in finding clean water.
