1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) and “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 µm) images (above) showed thunderstorms that produced 5 tornadoes, hail as large as 2.00 inch in diameter and damaging wind gusts across southern Wisconsin (SPC Storm Reports) on 22 June 2024. The Infrared images revealed pulses of thunderstorm overshooting tops that exhibited 10.3 µm brightness temperatures as cold as -75ºC (brighter white pixels embedded within dark black regions).

1-minute GOES-16 Visible and Infrared images with an overlay of GLM Flash Extent Density (below) showed the lightning activity associated with these thunderstorms, which included a few brief lightning jumps.
