GOES-16 (left) and GOES-17 (right) visible (0.64 \u00b5m) imagery of Michael starting at 1147 UTC on 8 October 2018 (Click to play mp4 animation)<\/p><\/div>\n

GOES-17 data in this post are preliminary and non-operational<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

CONUS (Contiguous United States) imagery at 5-minute intervals from GOES-16 at 75.2 W Longitude and GOES-17 at 89.5 W Longitude allows for Hurricane Michael to be viewed stereroscopically from space. The animation above, starting at 1142 UTC and extending to sunset, (click here<\/a> for an animated gif) shows an intensifying Michael with strong convection developing over the center.\u00a0 To view in three dimensions, cross you eyes until 3 images are present, and focus on the image in the center.\u00a0 Very strong shear is also apparent northeast of Michael.\u00a0 Low-level winds and upper-level winds do not align, and convection there is strongly tilted.\u00a0 (This graphic<\/a> of shear is from the CIMSS Tropical Weather Website<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Sea-surface Temperatures over the Gulf (Source<\/a>), below, show abundant warm water between Michael and its project landfall location along the northeast Gulf Coast (See the National Hurricane Center<\/a> for latest information).<\/p>\n
