What's going on down there?
Looks pretty awful.... ???

Now take a look at the gulf coast. See what is forecast for Saturday?

The border of that screen only covers the very most Eastern part of the Gulf:

(Current for when you click on it.)
I was interested in correlating the appearance of that unusual blob on the Western CONUS satellite image with what was occuring on the ground. It seems to have fairly dissipated by now, but I still wonder what happened down there at that point in time and at that location.

Things are gonna get real interesting when the tropical storm rotation and prevailing southwest flow start butting heads somewhere in central Texas.

Somewhere, they're preparing the headlines about Trump voters getting the climate change storms they so richly deserve...

Yeah, I kinda watch what's going on in the Baja Peninsula and Gulf. Most of the time the mountains seem to break things up, but every once in a while, you can track stuff from there right through Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and further points.
I use the image I posted above because it's real convenient to flip back and forth from that to the Colorado radar map.

SE Colorado and SW Kansas have been getting a lot of severe stuff this whole summer. Also, mid-Northern and Northeast Colorado.
Anyhow, I still wonder about what was happening on the ground, as in my OP. The color temperature chart was a little vague since there were two temperature ranges which could have shown that color coding... at least on my monitor.

I know this will sound weird.
I miss the scorched earth look of Oklahoma, everything being green is weird.

The storm in the Gulf has just been upgraded to hurricane status.
-
Wow, that one looks nasty.

Forget about my piddly little worry about that blob in Texas.
