| Description |
English: On the evening of June 7, 2020, Cristobal made landfall over southeast Louisiana as a tropical storm. When these images were acquired on June 8, the storm had weakened to a tropical depression, with sustained winds measuring 35 miles (55 kilometers) per hour. Despite the weakening, forecasters expect Cristobal to produce heavy rain as it advances northward through the Mississippi Valley.
The image gives a global perspective, showing Cristobal in context with the full disk of the Western Hemisphere. The image was acquired by the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on GOES-16. The satellite is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which includes the National Weather Service. NASA helps develop and launch the GOES series of satellites, which observe Earth from about 36,000 kilometers (22,000 miles) above the equator. Prior to drenching the United States, the storm lingered over the Yucatán Peninsula for several days and dropped a tremendous amount of rain on parts of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. |
