Summary

Description
English: Mar. 6–10, 2023, is Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Spring is on the horizon, but with the promise of warmer temperatures also comes an increased risk of severe weather. NOAA’s geostationary (GOES-16 and GOES-18) and polar-orbiting (Suomi NPP and NOAA-20) satellites monitor the changing weather patterns that come with the transition from winter to spring. As the potential for severe thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, dangerous lightning, and flooding increases, NOAA satellites work together to provide critical data for weather forecasts and severe weather warnings. They also aid emergency responders to help keep our communities safe.

This GOES-16 infrared imagery is of a severe storm that dropped large hail in southern Texas on Mar. 3, 2023.The blue, green, yellow, orange, and red areas in this animation show the temperatures of cloud tops within the storm. The red area is colder cloud tops, which indicates an area of greater storm intensity.
