I was able to automate with the .gif files. Since the files are rather small, I went with 15 minutes for the overwrites using:

alias: Updates NOAA animated.gif
description: Updates the animated.gif from NOAA.org
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: /15
    enabled: true
condition: []
action:
  - service: downloader.download_file
    data:
      overwrite: true
      url: >-
        https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/SECTOR/smv/13/GOES16-SMV-13-600x600.gif
      filename: animated.gif
mode: single

I wouldn't do it every 15 minutes. From what I could tell, the animated gifs are generated every hour. The NE region generated at x:15 every hour. The individual images are every five minutes.

Ultimately, I'd like to be able to grab the most recent 12 files and then grab the newest every five minutes (getting rid of the oldest file)and make my own animation which would be at the higher resolution. I'm not sure how to go about doing that though. Maybe I can cheat and use some sort of slideshow card.

Yeah, 15 is a bit much. I just haven't had time to look at the time stamps to see when the new one gets posted for the radars I want to display to make the adjustment. We are headed to TN for my son's wedding tonight and time has been scarcely available this week🤔
