Thought I saw something about 10 minutes when I loaded the page earlier in the morning, but going back later, current status is updated multiple times per minute, the radar map less often, but not too many minutes in between. The advertising cycles as well, so the amount of weather data versus ad data is a question. Privacy badger is not an ad blocker, but for this site, blocking the potential trackers blocks the ads. With noscript installed/enabled looks like the only thing that loads is the current conditions and reload/refresh is required to see updated information. Later, Seeker
