Satellite, Radar Images of MCS Systems

By Jesse Ferrell, Meteorologist/Community Director

The following images showing Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCS) [JessePedia] were taken yesterday morning and this morning. Notice the intense, high clouds and large areas of heavy rain (that last system looked like it was trying to form an MCV [JessePedia] but I couldn't confirm that). These screenshots were taken with a new tool for viewing Radar and Satellite data which we hope to have on our Pro site soon.

In other news, a large Moderate Risk is in effect today for the Ohio Valley as storms and MCS's continue to march along the warm fronts that are in place.
