31 May 1998 -- Thunderstorms Over South Dakota

This 2-image Java applet will take a minute or two to load...

Hold any mouse button down as you move the cursor across the large GOES-8 IR temperature contour image; the smaller inset window shows the corresponding GOES-8 visible image. Over the southwestern section of the storm complex, the 210 K minimum cloud top temperature contour (over east-central South Dakota) is located between two overshooting tops.
