Yesterday, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM) onboard #GOESEast captured sparkles of #lightning over southern Mexico and the Caribbean while the remnants of #Beta were still bringing clouds and rain to the Southeast.
From its vantage more than 22,000 miles up, the #GOESEast 🛰️ is watching #HurricaneTeddy over the Atlantic and Tropical Storm #Beta off the coast of Texas this #MondayMorning. Beta is expected to produce tropical storm conditions across the region today.
TROPICAL UPDATE: As the sun rises this morning, @NOAA's #GOES16🛰️ is tracking Tropical Storm #Beta slowly moving toward the Gulf Coast. In this loop, #smoke blown eastward from the #WesternWildfires is also visible across much of Texas. Get the latest: https://t.co/VTAp4gGkHs
#DidYouKnow that in August, the U.S. saw at least 4 different billion-dollar disasters?

.@NOAA's #Satellite Oceanography and Climatology Division can derive hurricane winds from space by #SyntheticApertureRadar (SAR). Onboard the #Sentinel1 satellite, SAR wind data are used by @NHC_Atlantic in its forecasts.
Here's an example from #Sally just prior to landfall.
#HurricaneSally made landfall as a Category-2 storm near Gulf Shores, Alabama around 5:45 am ET with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. @NHC_Atlantic warns of "catastrophic" and "life-threatening" flooding along portions of the north-central Gulf coast.
