Here's our local noon composite for #EarthDay made from 5 geostationary imagers (2 USA, 2 EUMETSAT, 1 JMA). Where were you at noon? Unless you were off planet or in the arctic/antarctic circle, you must be in this image somewhere! About local noon images: ssec.wisc.edu/data/composite…

We are sad to report the first U.S. lightning fatality of 2026. Details are scarce at the moment, but it occurred last night in Wisconsin.
