Robert,

I dont know where you are located, but here in California I use several
sources of satellite images, that show cloud cover well.

The main NOAA GOES sat server (national) is at:
http://goeshp.wwb.noaadot gov/

The 3km/1km resolution visible for the western US is at:
http://www.wrh.noaadot gov/satellite/1km/satmap.html

2km IR for California is at:

Hope these help.
Mike
