McIDAS images of GOES-13 0.63 µm visible channel data (above; click image to play animation) revealed the formation of an eye-like signature that suggests the formation of a warm seclusion off the US East Coast on 25 March 2013.
AWIPS images of Suomi NPP VIIRS 0.64 µm visible channel and 11.45 µm IR channel data at 18:16 UTC (below) showed the early stages of the development of the cloud-free core of the warm seclusion. Strong convective squalls were developing along the occluded frontal zone in the eastern portion of the satellite scene.
