1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) include time-matched SPC Storm Reports — and showed some of the widespread severe weather produced by thunderstorms that developed ahead of a cold front which was moving eastward across the Deep South on 22 March 2022.
The severe weather persisted for several hours past sunset, as displayed below by GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images ending at 0416 UTC on 23 March (11:16 pm CDT on 22 March).
