Infrared images from #GOESWest (GOES-18) showed Category 2 Hurricane #Nolo moving westward and crossing the International Date Line, thereby becoming classified as Typhoon Nolo.

5-minute #GOESEast daytime True Color RGB + Nighttime Microphysics RGB images showed the powerful Nor'easter from 1201 UTC on 25 September (off the North Carolina coast) to 2001 UTC on 27 September (after it had moved inland across New Jersey, then offshore).

1-minute #GOESWest Infrared images with plots of GLM Flash Points showed that the Enveloped Eyewall Lightning Signature associated with Category 5 Hurricane #Polo rapidly diminished after ~1900 UTC on 22 September. @coweatherman.bsky.social does that jive with your higher-res lightning data sources?

Wisc-Satellite @wisc-satellite.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This is why we can't have nice things: NOAA performing "firewall maintenance" during Hurricane #Polo ramping up to Category 5 intensity (leading to a ~2 hour outage, then noisy data). But hey @coweatherman.bsky.social nice EEL, eh?

30-second #GOESWest Infrared images with plots of GLM Flash Points showed the cold cloud tops and lightning activity associated with rapidly-intensifying Hurricane #Polo in the East Pacific (southwest of Mexico).

10-minute @noaa.gov #GOESEast Infrared images showed the evolution of Tropical Storm #Fay in the East Atlantic -- which NHC rated at 60 knots at 0300 UTC on 21 September (just shy of Category 1 Hurricane intensity).

I'll be offering a $5000 MDR dividend to every adult citizen if we have an Atlantic hurricane this season.

As Cat 2 Hurricane #Lowell was passing just west of Ni'ihau and Kaua'i on 08 September, it looks as though the 2.70 inches of Precipitable Water on the 0600 UTC Lihue sounding may have been a record max PW for that site? See cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl... #HIwx

During the ongoing eruption of #Krakatau in Indonesia, 10-minute JMA Himawari-9 True Color RGB images today showed a broad lower-altitude area of volcanic ash (shades of brown) along with pulses of higher-altitude volcanic clouds (a mixture of water vapor, ash and SO2).

The areal coverage of the #MuklukFire thermal signature is exaggerated due to the large viewing angle of the GOES-18 satellite -- but the fire's thermal intensity can still be ascertained. #AKwx

1-minute #GOESWest (GOES-18) Infrared and Visible images showed that #Lala was beginning to display a more well-defined eye as it intensified from a Tropical Storm to a Hurricane at 1900 UTC on 15 August, south of the Big Island of Hawai`i.

In a before/after (13 July vs 29 July) comparison of Landsat-8 "Natural Color RGB" images, a faint signature of the EF3-rated tornado damage path could be seen in the Menasha WI area (a transition from green shades to tan shades, due to tree/vegetation damage). #WIwx

"Rapid scan" satellite imagery from this event was available every 5-10 minutes -- which isn't quite as impressive as the 1-minute (or 30-second) GOES imagery often available today. cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...
