GOES Sandwich - Temporal Comparison

With conditions quiet in the Mt Holly CWA, it was interesting to compare the temporal resolutions of the GOES-13/15 (15-min), GOES-16 CONUS (5-min), and GOES-16 Meso (1-min).  In this case, there were thunderstorms rapidly developing in southern Illinois and the Meso domain provided a great view of the evolution of the storms and the overshooting tops (note the waves moving away from the overshooting tops in the 1-min data).
