$MetroURL & $CityURL

I am setting up the Saratoga Templates for the first time so please pardon my ignorance...

Following the instructions for going to the Metro area in Wunderground>Nexrad radar I do not see that in either Firefox, Chrome or Explorer that it is possible to "View/Save the image" once selected as the URL. I tried looking at the "View Source" and found what appeared to be the image url in the html code following src= . The URL is fairly lengthy which for Denver, CO is:

//radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=FTG&brand=wui&num=1&delay=15&type=N0R&frame=0&scale=1&noclutter=0&showstorms=0&mapx=400&mapy=240&centerx=400&centery=240&transx=0&transy=0&showlabels=1&severe=0&rainsnow=0&lightning=0&smooth=0&rand=24325689&lat=40.04679489&lon=-105.21250153&label=Boulder%2C+CO

and after zooming into Boulder, CO (might do for the $CityURL):

//radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=FTG&brand=wui&num=1&delay=15&type=N0R&frame=0&scale=0.125&noclutter=0&showstorms=0&mapx=400&mapy=240&centerx=872&centery=400&transx=472&transy=160&showlabels=1&severe=0&rainsnow=0&lightning=0&smooth=0&rand=24325693&lat=40.04679489&lon=-105.21250153&label=Boulder%2C+CO

But both of these seem to yield the same image when pasted into the URL bar

I think I may be going off into the weeds... Any help getting back on the road would be appreciated.

Maybe I'm not so far into the weeds...
By going to view page info I was able to find a url (under media in Firefox)to the zoomed in image:

https://radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-b ... lder%2C+CO



so perhaps this is OK (?) But the link does not appear to update, so maybe not...
