That website is using a referer-check to block direct access to images.
This works:
curl -H 'Referer: http://gfaarchive.info/'
'http://gfaarchive.info/gfa/gfacn32/20240517T0600_cldwx_012.png'
If you want to download the whole website, try wget mirror:
wget --no-check-certificate --referer='http://gfaarchive.info'
--mirror 'https://gfaarchive.info/gfaDisplay.php'

I had a similar problem once with a server that wanted me to collect a frames page first, followed by frame contents in a specific order, because each frame section returned a specific cookie.  It wouldn't just let me collect the main frame, I had to get headers and sidebar first.
