* GOES-17 images shown here are preliminary and non-operational *A GOES-17 Mid-level (6.9 µm) Water Vapor image with contours of NAM40 model 500 hPa geopotential height (above) showed an arc of dry air aloft over the far western US at 1202 UTC on 13 January 2019. This was a classic example of... Read More

* GOES-17 images shown here are preliminary and non-operational *A comparison of GOES-17 (soon to become GOES-West) and GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) and Shortwave Infrared (3.9 µm) images (above) revealed a plume of lake effect clouds streaming south of Fort Peck Lake in northeastern Montana on 11 January 2019. As a cold... Read More

* GOES-17 images shown here are preliminary and non-operational *GOES-17 “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) revealed the low-level circulation of an occluded Hurricane Force low (surface analyses) over the West Pacific Ocean on 09 January – 10 January 2019. This storm was forecast to produce wave heights up to 40-60 feet.GOES-17 Low-level... Read More
