Downwind of one of the fires, smoke restricted the surface visibility to 1-3\/4 mile at Las Vegas (KLVS). 3.9 \u00b5m Shortwave Infrared brightness temperatures of the 2 larger fires reached 138.71\u00baC \u2014 which is the saturation temperature of <\/span>ABI<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> Band 7 detectors.<\/span> The Fire Temperature and Fire Power derived products are components of the GOES Fire Detection and Characterization Algorithm FDCA<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, to the east and northeast across the central Plains, severe thunderstorms developed which produced several tornadoes, hail up to 4.00 inches in diameter and wind gusts to 91 mph — 1-minute GOES-16 Visible images (above)<\/strong><\/em> and Infrared images (below)<\/strong><\/em> include time-matched plots of SPC Storm Reports<\/strong><\/a>.
