GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Clean” Infrared Window images (above) showed the development of an elongated cluster of training thunderstorms that was responsible for producing record rainfall and flash flooding in the St. Louis, Missouri area on 26 July 2022. The coldest cloud-top infrared brightness temperatures were around -75 C. A Suomi-NPP VIIRS Infrared Window image valid at 0802 UTC image displayed a large Mesoscale Convective System as it was beginning to move away from the St. Louis (KSTL) area.
