Devon,

Yes, this is definitely possible. Please see 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/data/DataSourceProperties.html
 on how to achieve this. Basically, in the data source properties, check 
"Automatically Reload", and you can even specify the polling interval.

Keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best Wishes,
