This
visible satellite image on the morning of 13 Jul 2001 shows a number
of interesting weather features. One of the more notable features is
the shadow cast by the high clouds over the Washington coast onto the
lower stratus clouds over the ocean. This image was taken at 5:15 am
(10 minutes after sunrise in Spokane), when the sun was to the right
of the image.
Also
apparent in this image is the fog in the Silver Valley of north Idaho,
wild fire smoke along the east slopes of the Washington Cascades, and
morning thunderstorms.
