On June 2 at 3:35 a.m. EDT (0735 UTC) the MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite found coldest cloud top temperatures (yellow) in several areas around Tropical Depression 03L’s center of circulation. They were as cold as or colder than minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 62.2 Celsius). One area of strong storms were off the coast and over the Bay of Campeche, Gulf of Mexico. Several other areas were over Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Credit: NASA/NRL
