My hunch is that the location of the satellites can be deduced from the weather data. These satellites would be a target in a time of war.

The location of the satellites is public knowledge. Satellites are trivially tracked from the ground - the amateur community does this whenever someone tries to keep the location of one secret: https://www.popsci.com/zuma-spy-satellite-amateur-astronomer...

They also don't exactly move much, it takes precious fuel to change a satellites orbit.
