1-minute GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 µm) images, with an overlay of 1-minute GLM Flash Points and hourly SPC Storm Reports, from 0641-0850 UTC on 03 November [click to play MP4 animation]

1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 µm) images (above) showed thunderstorms that produced several tornadoes and damaging wind gusts (SPC Storm Reports) across parts of central Oklahoma on 03 November 2024. Pulses of thunderstorm overshooting tops exhibited 10.3 µm brightness temperatures as cold as -78.6ºC (brighter white pixels embedded within dark black regions) — and Enhanced-V cloud-top signatures were evident with some of the storms.

1-minute GOES-16 GLM Flash Points depicted abundant lightning activity associated with these thunderstorms.
