This widget is great but how can I use 5 min option to reload the URL? Is it possible to add it?

This handy little app puts a National Weather Service radar snapshot of my region on my home screen (from forecast.weather.gov). The image is the most recent frame of an NWS animated gif that also marks in color code any weather alerts in my area. The app updates the image automatically every 15 minutes or on demand with two taps on the widget. Nice!

Nice app. But the image refresh after 15 minutes. A lower value 2 or 5 min will be great
