Satellite Image of the Day
 

Satellite: NOAA-17
July 6, 2004; two flyover, beginning 1:46pm and 3:26pm EDT
Skies are very clear over the southeast due to 2 high pressure regions, one centered over the Gulf states and another over Virginia (as of this image).
There is a large cloud bank over the upper midwest with the counterclockwise circulation characteristic of mid-latitude cyclones.
The American southwest is again dry with no precipitation in sight.
Note how clearly you can see the Manacouagan meteor impact crater in the Quebec province of Canada; it looks like a giant smiley face north of the St. Lawrence River in northeastern Canada!
The clouds in the Carribean southeast of the Yucatan Peninsula aren't going to amount to much.
A cool front is moving down from the upper midwest to (hopefully) give us some heat relief.
