Caption

On Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 6:05 a.m. EDT (1005 UTC), the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite looked at the remnants of tropical depression Rosa in infrared light revealing the storm soaking Arizona. MODIS found coldest cloud tops (yellow) had temperatures near minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius) which indicated powerful rain-making storms.
