NASA's AIRS captures Hurricane Michael's Landfall

This image from NASA's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) shows the temperature of clouds or the surface in and around Hurricane Michael as the storm made landfall in the Florida panhandle on Wed, Oct 10, 2018. The large purple area indicates very cold clouds carried high into the atmosphere by deep thunderstorms. These storm clouds are associated with heavy rainfall. The warmer eye of the hurricane, located at the center of the cold clouds, is shown in green. The red areas are mostly cloud-free areas, with the clear air caused by air motion outward from the cold clouds near the storm center then downward in the surrounding areas. Michael made landfall as a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph (250 kph). https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA22752
