NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite provided a look at the temperatures of 15W's cloud tops on July 24. It showed some strong thunderstorms wrapped tightly around the low-level center and in a large band extending from the north to the eastern quadrant of the storm where cloud tops were as cold as 216.5 kelvin (minus 70.3 Fahrenheit/minus 56.8 Celsius).
