NASA Infrared Image of Tropical Storm Tomas's Thunderstorms

Caption

NASA's Aqua satellite AIRS instrument captured an infrared image of Tropical Storm Tomas' clouds (right) on Nov. 4 at 2:59 a.m. EDT. Tomas showed strong convective activity in his center as indicated by high thunderstorms (in purple) that were as cold as -63F. A second area of showers and thunderstorms located to the southwest of Tomas is associated with a trough of low pressure.
