A thermal signature of the #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #NG2 booster rocket was apparent in @NOAASatellites #GOESEast ABI spectral bands 8/9/10/16 (w/ a very subtle signature in Band 4) as it launched from @NASAKennedy in Florida. A signature of the rocket condensation cloud was seen in all 16 ABI Bands.

1-min #GOESEast Infrared images w/ an overlay of GLM Flash Extent Density (large blue/cyan pixels) & GLM Flash Points (white dots) showed 3 brief signatures of lightning along the Indiana & Illinois coasts overnight - highlighting lake effect thundersnow. @nwschicago.bsky.social #ILwx #INwx

Super Typhoon Haiyan certainly had an impressive presentation in satellite imagery: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

Day 2 of transport of resuspended ash from the 1912 eruption of Novarupta-Katmai toward Kodiak Island. #AKwx

lLooks like the resuspension has not been suspended.

Is this from yesterday's event, or is the event still ongoing?

A thermal signature of the UPS Flight 2978 crash and resulting fire near Louisville International Airport (on November 4) was evident in both #GOESEast and #GOESWest, especially using the Next Generation Fire System -- details on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

True Color RGB images from #GOES19/#GOESEast showed the rapidly intensifying Hurricane Force Low south of the Canadian Maritimes -- which included the hazy signature of light being scattered by very high waves south-southeast of the storm center. @cyclone-fogarty.bsky.social

After briefly intensifying to a Category 4 storm at 0300 UTC (between Jamaica and Cuba), Hurricane #Melissa later made landfall in Cuba as a Category 3 storm at 0710 UTC. The peak wind gust at Guantanamo (MUGM) was 75 kts (86 mph) at 0623 UTC.

1-minute #GOES19/#GOESEast Visible images showed that soon after making landfall, the eye of Hurricane #Melissa became cloud-filled as the storm interacted with higher terrain on the western edge of Jamaica.

According to NHC, #Melissa made landfall along the SW coast of Jamaica at 1700 UTC.

1-minute #GOES19/#GOESEast Visible and Infrared images with plots of GLM Flash Points showed prolific lightning activity within the inner eyewall of Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa as it approaches the SW coast of Jamaica. Low-altitude mesovortices persist within the eye.

Sunrise on Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa south of Jamaica -- 1-minute #GOES19/#GOESEast Visible and Infrared images showed a nice "stadium effect" with the eye, and GLM Flash Points highlighted abundant lightning activity within the inner eyewall.

More imagery and details of Hurricane #Melissa are available on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

1-minute Mesoscale Sector #GOES19/#GOESEast Infrared images + GLM Flash Points showed #Melissa as it intensified from a Tropical Storm to a Hurricane at 1800 UTC. Since that time, a large convective burst developed and wrapped around the eastern semicircle of the hurricane.
