Caption

On Aug. 25 GPM saw heavy rain with rates of around 50 mm/hr (~2 inches/hr shown in dark red) near the center. Most of the rain (red, green and blue areas, indicating heavy, moderate and light rain, respectively) was located north and east of the low-level center. The storm is asymmetric because of southwesterly wind shear.
