Thunderstorms fired with the heating of the day on Thursday over southern Iowa and created for a remarkable presentation on satellite imagery. The featured lapse is of "true color" GOES-16 composite, which is a combination of three satellite bands that generate a pseudo image like that you may see from space with the human eye. What's interesting is that you can discern the lower level cloud motion to the west and the upper level cloud motion to the east. So the thunderstorms that fired ended up getting ripped apart and ultimately died with the loss of peak heating during the late afternoon hours.
