A Nor’easter Swirls off the Coast of New England
Nor'easters are storms that form along the East Coast of North America and can bring dangerous wind, snow, rain and flooding. NOAA’s GOES-East satellite monitors this region continuously and takes detailed images and measurements of these severe storms. This provides minute-by-minute updates of a nor'easter's progress to people in the storm’s path. This image from Feb 14, 2024 depicts the cloud properties of the storm.
