Penn State weather center webcam wall simulator

When I visited Penn State's Dr. Joel N. Myers Weather Center last week to repairthe AccuCam on their roof, I was reminded of how neat their 21-screen setup is in the lobby. They usually have individual weather products pulled up on the display, but sometimes they have webcams showing the weather across the country.

When I was there this time, they had the webcam display up and running and were adding weather data to the bottom of each of the webcams. I took at photo of it (above) and later decided to recreate a simulation of it online (below). I researched the webcams based on the photo I took and managed to find all of them. You can see my recreation by clicking here (screenshot below in case you're reading this at night):

I also did an alternate version that animated the satellite image, filled in the blanks with State College, Pennsylvania, cameras and selected alternate webcams with better views for Boston and Oklahoma City. The images update at different frequencies, but the page uploads every minute. I did not have time to add the weather data to the bottom, as they are attempting to do now, due to the level of difficulty.

Here's a list of the sources that broadcast the images (from left to right, top to bottom).
