1 00:00:05,505 --> 00:00:09,109 This week, NOAA satellites monitored a large storm system that brought winter weather to some regions 2 00:00:09,109 --> 00:00:12,479 and severe weather to others. 3 00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:17,250 GOES-17 wateched as the system moved eastward across the Pacific Northwest where 4 00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:20,220 it brought snow. 5 00:00:25,892 --> 00:00:34,200 From the Suomi NPP satellite, snow and ice on the ground are seen in this imagery. 6 00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:54,187 GOES-16 watched the progression of the storm as the cold air met with the warm humid air from the the Gulf of Mexico. 7 00:00:55,655 --> 00:01:03,596 The clash of air masses led to severe weather in multiple states across the Midwest and South. 8 00:01:14,941 --> 00:01:23,550 GOES-16's Geostationary Lightning Mapper watched as the storms produced frequent lightning as they marched eastward. 9 00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:35,995 The system produced more than 500 reporst of damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes throughout the central U.S. 10 00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:46,706 The storms finally wound down as the system reached the East Coast. 11 00:01:48,408 --> 00:01:50,610 Earth from Orbit: Spring Snowstorm 12 00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,278 NOAA Logo 13 00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:53,546 NASA Meatball 14 00:01:53,546 --> 00:01:54,848 CIRA Logo
