The GOES-14 satellite continued to be operated in Super Rapid Scan Operations for GOES-R (SRSOR<\/strong><\/a>) mode, providing images at 1-minute intervals. Early morning 0.63 \u00b5m visible channel images (below; click image to play an MP4 animation; also available as a QuickTime movie<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> showed the narrow fingers of river valley fog\/stratus, which began to burn off as heating and mixing increased during the morning hours. There was then a rapid transition to the formation of cumulus clouds across the region, some of which became organized areas of deep convection that produced hail and damaging winds (SPC storm reports<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n
