* GOES-17 images shown here are preliminary and non-operational *

A comparison of Visible images from GOES-15 (GOES-West), GOES-17 and GOES-16 (GOES-East) (above) showed thunderstorms which produced tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds (SPC storm reports) from southeastern Wyoming to eastern Colorado on 29 July 2018. The images are displayed in the native projections of each satellite; images from GOES 16/17 are at 5-minute intervals, while those from GOES-15.are at intervals ranging from 4 to 30 minutes (depending on the operational scan schedule of the current GOES-West satellite).
