  • Hurricane Harvey Reaches Texas’ Gulf Coast<br>UNITED STATES - AUGUST 25: In this NOAA handout image, the NOAA/NASA Suomi NPP satellite captures this infrared image of Hurricane Harvey just prior to making landfall at 18:55 UTC on August 25, 2017 along the Texas coast. NOAA’s National Hurricane Center has clocked Harvey’s maximum sustained winds at 110 miles per hour with higher gusts. Infrared images like this one can help meteorologists identify the areas of the greatest intensity within large storm systems, such as the areas with the most intense convection, known as overshooting cloud tops (dark orange), surrounding the eye and along the outer bands.
