\n On Aug. 21 at 0315 UTC (Aug. 20 at 11:15 p.m. EDT), the MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA\u2019s Terra satellite gathered infrared data on TD14 that showed the strongest storms (yellow) had the coldest cloud top temperatures as cold as minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 51.1 Celsius).

NASA’s Terra satellite gathered infrared data on Tropical Depression 14 as it moves through the Caribbean Sea. Infrared data was used to find the location of the strongest storms.<\/p>\n

\n <\/section>\n

NASA’s Terra satellite uses infrared light to analyze the strength of storms by providing temperature information about the system’s clouds. The strongest thunderstorms that reach high into the atmosphere have the coldest cloud top temperatures.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 21 at 0315 UTC (Aug. 20 at 11:15 p.m. EDT), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Terra satellite gathered infrared data from the depression that found the coldest cloud top temperatures were as cold as or colder than minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 51.1 Celsius). The strongest storms were mostly on the western side of the storm. However, a fragmented band of thunderstorms extending to the southeast also contained strong storms. NASA research has found that cloud top temperatures that cold can generate heavy rainfall. Some of that heavy rain was affecting Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
\nSeveral watches and warnings were in effect today, Aug. 21. A Hurricane Watch is in effect from Punta Herrero to Cancun, Mexico. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Bay Islands of Honduras and from Punta Herrero to Cancun, Mexico. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for north and west of Cancun to Dzilam, Mexico.
\nAt 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC), the National Hurricane Center noted that the center of Tropical Depression Fourteen (TD14) was located near latitude 16.6 degrees north and longitude 84.1 degrees west. That is about 165 miles (270 km) east of Roatan, Honduras and about 325 miles (525 km) southeast of Cozumel, Mexico.
\nThe depression is moving toward the northwest near 14 mph (22 kph). A slower northwestward motion is expected over the next couple of days, followed by an increase in speed by Sunday and Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 kph) with higher gusts.
\nNHC said, “Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and the depression is expected to become a tropical storm later today.\u00a0 The system is forecast to be near or at hurricane strength when it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico late Saturday.\u00a0 Some weakening is expected as it moves over the Yucatan Peninsula Saturday night.\u00a0 Afterward, restrengthening is forecast on Sunday as it moves offshore and enters the southern Gulf of Mexico.
\nOn the forecast track, the center of the depression will move away from the coast of Honduras today and will app<\/a>roach the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico on Saturday.\u00a0 The\u00a0center will then cross the northeastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula Saturday night and move over the central Gulf of Mexico toward the northwestern Gulf on Sunday and Monday.”
\nNASA Researches Tropical Cyclones<\/b>
\nHurricanes\/tropical cyclones are the most powerful weather events on Earth. NASA’s expertise in space and scientific exploration contributes to essential services provided to the American people by other federal agencies, such as hurricane weather forecasting.
\nFor more than five decades, NASA has used the vantage point of space to understand and explore our home planet, improve lives and safeguard our future. NASA brings together technology<\/a>, science<\/a>, and unique global Earth observations to provide societal benefits and strengthen our nation. Advancing knowledge of our home planet contributes directly to America’s leadership in space and scientific exploration.<\/p>\n
