Caption

The GPM core satellite showed that convective storms close to Linda's center of circulation were producing very heavy rainfall. Storms in an area of strong convection just southeast of Linda's center of circulation were dropping precipitation at a rate greater than 181 mm (7.1 inches) per hour. Tallest storms stretched to heights of above 17 km (10.5 miles).
