.@NOAA's newest #GOES19 🛰️ is now watching #lightning over the Western Hemisphere via its Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM) instrument!

It recently tracked powerful storms, including Hurricanes #Helene & #Milton, helping forecasters monitor intensity, tornado threats and improve flight safety. 🌩️

This morning’s view from @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ is showing thunderstorms moving across the central U.S. (note the frequent #lightning flashes caught by the #GLM instrument). There is an #EnhancedRisk for severe #thunderstorms developing from northern Texas to central Missouri today.

An excellent example of #parallax was provided by #GLM Flash Extent Density signatures of a #bolide over far southern Canada -- it appeared to be over SW Alberta as viewed by @NOAASatellites #GOESWest, but over SE British Columbia as viewed by #GOESEast. @NWSMissoula HT @GOESguy https://t.co/vR4Uu3FCK9

.@NOAA's #GOESEast satellite tracked severe weather that swept through parts of the Southern Plains yesterday. The #thunderstorms produced damaging winds as well as frequent #lightning, which was captured by the satellite's Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM) instrument. https://t.co/t4Blpv4kww

Feb 16th: Early afternoon GOES-E satellite imagery shows a cold front moving across the Gulf of America. Embedded showers and thunderstorms are accompanying the front with the overlayed Geostationary #Lightning Mapper (#GLM) indicating activity. https://t.co/bIyltZJP94

Thunderstorms are possible near a pre-frontal trough in the Gulf of America as indicated by Geostationary #Lightning Mapper (#GLM). The recent surface analysis indicating the positions of fronts and the pre-frontal trough associated with this activity is displayed. https://t.co/iVigd67vgs

It's #LightningSafety Awareness Week! ⚡️

#DidYouKnow @NOAA's GOES satellites have an instrument onboard called the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM), which helps forecasters track potentially dangerous #lightning in thunderstorms? 🌩️

Why is being indoors important?

Almost every single U.S. lightning fatality since 2006 has occurred outside.

If you can get inside a substantial building (one with four walls, a roof, and electrical and plumbing in the walls) or a fully-enclosed metal vehicle - you're safe! https://t.co/Gt6grhST3x - Lightning Safety Council

A lightning strike at Lake Murray in South Carolina resulted in 20 injuries with 15 hospitalizations on 24 June - the LightningCast product provided some lead time before @NOAASatellites #GOESEast #GLM lightning detection.

There have been many reports of a #fireball streaking across the southeastern U.S. this afternoon! The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM) on @NOAA's #GOES satellites can occasionally detect these bright meteors (aka #bolides) when they pass through the atmosphere.

See the quick flash #GOESEast captured around the Virginia/North Carolina border today. #GOES19
