1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-18 (GOES-West) “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 µm) images (above) showed the colder cloud tops (shades of green) associated with snow squalls that moved east-southeastward across parts of far southern Wyoming and northern/central Colorado late in the day on 08 February 2023. Plots of 15-minute METAR surface reports indicated how quickly the visibility fluctuated at sites where the snow squalls passed overhead.
