Peeking in on Grace

| September 6, 2015 @ 1:49 pm

I was looking through some images of Grace, and I thought people might like to see a couple of different views of this storm. These two images were taken about 15 minutes apart just before 1 pm CDT.

The first one below comes from the eastern GOES satellite operated by the NOAA Satellite and Information Service. This is a visible image, so this is what it would look like if we were on the satellite looking down with special black and white glasses. Grace is showing some good banding on the south and east sides of the storm but is pretty open in the northwest quadrant.

Looking more westerly is a visible image from the European Meteorological Satellite. Fred can be seen in the upper left quadrant of the image.

I just can’t imagine life without weather satellites.
