Spring showers are hitting Wisconsin today. It kinda gives me hope that we won't be living through another drought this summer https://t.co/99Ju5odogW #RealEarth™ #WIwx #rainydayvibes #radar #probsevere

Along with dumping flooding rains on coastal India, #CycloneMichuang is now forecast to strengthen prior to landfall. https://t.co/qGdHTcDE3G

Tropical Storm Michuang, which means strength and resilience, hits Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in east India. It brings heavy flooding and high winds to the area. Take a look on #RealEarth https://t.co/AtgA9wE2V9 #wxsatellites #IndiaWx #Michuang #michuangcyclone #infrared

An autumnal #AtmosphericRiver is delivering widespread rain to the Pacific Northwest aided by a large Low pressure storm system, heralding the beginning of the end of the U.S. fire weather season. https://t.co/LA5VIMeogY #WAwx #ORwx #CAwx

Hurricane #Lee is becoming a massive storm out in the open Atlantic, nearly 1000 km wide (621 miles).

That's roughly the same distance from Boston to Detroit.

Even if the center of #Lee passes well off the coast of the Northeast, coastal flooding and strong winds could possible given the massive wind field of the storm.

Amazon outflow in its delta and estuaries as seen from #GOESEast . I'm always impressed at geostationary's resolution even though they orbit at an altitude of 35000 km! #CSPPGeosphere
