This image was passed along to the IEM by the NWS. The image shows a satellite depiction of cloud top temperatures. The dark pixel is a -81°C reading! Such a cold reading is a sign of a very deep and vigorous convection. The storms during the past few nights have been more efficient rain than severe weather producers.
