Observations of jet stream: Satellite Imagery

This high resolution visible satellite imagery of VT and HM shows the sun going down at the end of today. It confirms oue obervations of clouds being moved from west to east by the mid-latitude westerlies. A stratocumulus cloud mass (meteorologists sometimes call it a "blob of cloud" for obvious reasons) passes over the Northeast Kingdom of stratocumulus late in the day.

You can see current high resolution visible satellite imagery of New England at the Meteorology Department's Satellite page.
