Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On Aug. 19, 2020, NOAA’s GOES-West satellite captured the above GeoColor image loop of massive wildfire smoke plumes billowing from California and areas of the Rocky Mountains. To the north, a mid-latitude cyclone spins over the Gulf of Alaska while Hurricane Genevieve continues its path toward Baja California. As the southwestern United States endures a record heat wave, the state of California saw intense lightning this week that, over the course of 72 hours, produced nearly 11,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes and ignited hundreds of additional fires.
