The best part about GOES-19 not sending data all morning is that I didn't have to see how bad the wildfire smoke looks -- but now that data is flowing again, omFUg...

Nighttime NOAA-20 (mislabeled as NPP) VIIRS Day/Night Band image valid at 1525 UTC on 05 July, showing the large eye of Super Typhoon #Bavi as it was approaching the island of Rota. "Side-lighting" by the Moon was brightly illuminating the western eyewall.

2.5-minute Himawari-9 Infrared images show that the eye of 155-knot Category 5 Super Typhoon #Bavi is on track to pass very near the island of Rota, between Saipan and Guam.

Wow we suck.

1-minute GOES-18 daytime True Color RGB + Nighttime Microphysics RGB images revealed a patch of hail that remained on the ground (white in True Color, magenta in NT Micro at the center of the images) after a supercell thunderstorm produced hail to 3.00" in diameter in northeastern Colorado. #COwx

1-minute #GOESWest (GOES-18) Fire Temperature RGB images with an overlay of NGFS Fire Detection polygons showed the thermal signature of the #StarryFire (which forced evacuations for the Anderson AK area late in the day on 20 June). #AKwx @alaskawx.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social

1-minute @noaa.gov #GOESWest (GOES-18) True Color RGB images showed the dense smoke plume and numerous pyrocumulus clouds associated with the #IronFire south of Salt Lake City. #UTwx

Last night, with no illumination from a New Moon, the aurora was close enough to the US-Canada border to brightly illuminate clouds across SK/MB/ON in Canada and ND/SD/MN in the US -- and the aurora provided enough illumination to reveal a few of the larger lakes in MB and ND/MN.

Infrared images from @noaa.gov #GOESEast (GOES-19) showed thunderstorms that produced flash flooding in the Waco, Texas area on Sunday night (14 June). More on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl... #TXwx

Oh snap

1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector @noaa.gov #GOESEast (GOES-19) Visible and Infrared images with time-matched plots of SPC Storm Reports showed a supercell thunderstorm that produced a possible long-track strong tornado (+winds and hail) across northeast #ILwx. @nwschicago.bsky.social

Pray for @brendonme.bsky.social

1-minute @noaa.gov #GOESEast (GOES-19) Infrared images with time-matched plots of SPC Storm Reports showed t-storms that produced damaging wind gusts to 98 mph, hail to 3.25" in diameter & isolated tornadoes across parts of #MTwx/#WYwx/#NDwx/#SDwx on 07 June: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

1-minute Visible and Infrared imagery with an overlay of GLM Flash Points showed a supercell thunderstorm that developed in far eastern Saskatchewan and moved across southern Manitoba - producing large hail and heavy rainfall (and prompted the issuance of a tornado warning). @wxdam.com

The SUVI on GOES-18 and GOES-19 detected solar flares that produced Coronal Mass Ejections, which prompted the issuance of a G3 Geomagnetic Storm Watch -- more on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl.... H/T @vincentledvina.bsky.social

The GOES-19 GLM instrument detected a fireball as a meteor entered the atmosphere over the coast of Massachusetts.

A thermal signature of the cloud resulting from the #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn rocket explosion at Cape Canaveral, Florida (shortly after sunset on 28 May) was evident in #GOESEast (#GOES19) ABI Infrared spectral bands 07-16.

Following the launch of SpaceX Starship Test Flight 12 (on 22 May), True Color RGB images from @noaa.gov #GOES16 and GOES-19 / #GOESEast showed the rocket booster's condensation cloud as it drifted eastward away from the Starbase launch site on the South Texas coast.

Since @noaa.gov #GOES16 has been briefly brought out of storage for testing, here's a 3-GOES Water Vapor imagery depiction of a "leeside cold frontal gravity wave" as it propagated southward across the central & southern Plains (note the changes in surface winds): cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

1-minute Visible and Shortwave Infrared images from @noaa.gov #GOESEast (GOES-19) showed a fast-moving grass fire that prompted the issuance of an Evacuation Immediate order for residents near Campo in far SE Colorado. More on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl... #COwx

Donald Trump is the only person who can be wrong 100% of time and still keep his job.

1-minute GOES-19 imagery showing the development of a pyrocumulonimbus cloud near Dodge City, Kansas. #KSwx

#GOES16 has been temporarily brought out of storage for testing -- so a talented co-worker made a Full Disk image. Because it's Friday.

30-second Infrared imagery from @noaa.gov #GOESEast (GOES-19) included time-matched plots of SPC Storm Reports -- which showed an outbreak of tornadoes across southern Mississippi, in addition to large hail and damaging winds across parts of Mississippi and Alabama. #MSwx #ALwx

Severe thunderstorms produced hail, an EF1-rated tornado and damaging wind gusts as high as 119 mph near and along the South Texas coast this past Friday. More on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl... #TXwx

1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector #GOESWest (GOES-18) GeoColor RGB images with/without an overlay of NGFS Fire Detection polygons showed the thermal signature, smoke plume and dark burn scar of the wind-driven #SparksFire in Quay County, New Mexico. #NMwx

Overlapping 1-min Mesoscale Domain Sectors provided images at 30-sec intervals on 27 April; #GOESEast Visible imagery with time-matched plots of SPC Storm Reports showed hail as large as 4.00" in diameter & a wind gust to 60 mph southwest of St. Louis. cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

1-minute GOES-19 Infrared images with time-matched plots of SPC Storm Reports showed the severe thunderstorms that produced hail as large as 4.00" in diameter in southern Kansas & the EF4-rated tornado (& 107 mph wind gust) near #Enid, Oklahoma on 23 April.

We are preliminarily at 24 tornadoes from last week's storms. Wisconsin averages 23 tornadoes per year.

Nighttime Microphysics RGB + daytime True Color RGB images from @noaa.gov #GOESWest (GOES-18) showed a plume of lake effect clouds streaming SSE from the Great Salt Lake, which deposited a swath of light snow downwind of the lake: geosphere.ssec.wisc.edu#playing:true...; #UTwx
