At the end of the Satellite loop do you get the correct current time?
If so Windy shows the correct timestamp, but may not be very consistent with the timeline.

Then concerning the cloud cover forecast, did you try other models than ECMWF? Like HRRR or NAM in your area, and ICON too.
However, HRRR and NAM have a maximum forecast lead time of no more than 3 days.
