which view/setting do you use to get the IR?

#10

It’s true color on GOES17 with fire temperature overlay. I had to edit the coloring and contrast.

During nightime you have to use shortwave IR

you do the fire temp overlay yourself? my GOES website doesn’t show that option

#12

This website allows that: https://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu/?sat=goes-16&z=0&im=12&ts=1&st=0&et=0&speed=130&motion=loop&map=1&lat=0&opacity[0]=1&hidden[0]=0&pause=0&slider=-1&hide_controls=0&mouse_draw=0&follow_feature=0&follow_hide=0&s=rammb-slider&sec=full_disk&p[0]=geocolor&x=10848&y=10848

Perhaps I’m just not remembering how bad the 2008 lightning firestorms were, but this feels… significantly worse.

The difference was June lightning vs. August lightning. I think there were probably more fires in 2008, but burned significantly less intense and not in the middle of fire season…

With the next round of convection possible from Sunday night thru Tuesday evening due to remnants of hurricane Genevieve this situation could become much worse. https://www.cyclocane.com/spaghetti-models/
