RT @NASA: .@NOAASatellites acquired this image of #HurricaneHilary in the predawn hours of Aug. 18, when the eye of the storm was about 400 miles (640 kilometers) off the coast of Baja California. The storm is expected to weaken while drenching a swath of California and the U.S. Southwest with heavy rains.

The image shows infrared brightness temperature data, which is useful for distinguishing cooler cloud structures (white and blue) from warmer surfaces below (yellow). The coolest temperatures are generally associated with the tallest clouds: go.nasa.gov/3OJroAC
