Satellite Movie Shows Difficult Eastern U.S. Thanksgiving Travel

This NOAA GOES-East and GOES-West composite image from Nov. 27 at 1445 UTC/9:45 a.m. EST shows the complex storm system over the eastern United States.

An animation of NOAA's GOES-East satellite imagery from Nov. 25 through 27 showed the complex storm system moving over the U.S. East Coast causing troublesome holiday travel.  
Visible and infrared images taken from NOAA's satellites were animated by the NASA GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., to create a 28-second movie. The movie shows the progression of a low pressure area that developed in the Gulf of Mexico and cold fronts that were sweeping from west to east.
