A still image from GOES Day Snow-Fog imagery captured at 21:21 UTC (3:21 p.m. CST) shows snow and ice features over northeast Mississippi and northwest Alabama. The image uses color coding to indicate different conditions: dark red for ice and light red or orange for snow, according to NOAA.
The image also displays convective cloud rolls, or “cloud streets,” which form after cold air moves off the ice pack onto warmer ground. These patterns are visible in the satellite imagery and help meteorologists analyze weather dynamics in the region.
Additional information about GOES Day-Fog imagery and cloud street formation can be found through resources provided by Colorado State University and NOAA. The links offer further details on interpreting satellite data and understanding atmospheric convection patterns.
