cool technique here, that I think should be applied more... The meso box is small so the landscape view gets cut off. If you layer the meso imagery with the conus imagery, you can get the broader view and it still looks pretty good!

I feel like the movie Pressure got a ton of love from the met community but imo it was a pretty weak, uninteresting movie? Was also bummed there were no upper level clouds before the midlat arrived. Like if the movie is ALLL about weather, gotta get that right.
