GOES Imagery

NOAA's GOES weather satellites, high above the equator: the view over Arkansas and the Mississippi Valley, the Southern Plains, the whole country and each satellite's full disk, as the newest picture or an animation loop.

NOAA also makes ready-made animations of every area: NOAA's folder for this area (look in a view's folder for the .gif and .mp4 files).

About These Pictures

GOES-19 (GOES-East) and GOES-18 (GOES-West) sit about 22,000 miles above the equator and photograph the Western Hemisphere every few minutes. Arkansas is seen by GOES-East. The pictures come from NOAA's public image server and are in the public domain; this site keeps the newest pictures and asks NOAA for new ones at most every 10 minutes, only when somebody looks.

Want to catch the pictures with your own radio? Members with a weather satellite receiver can send their decoded pictures on My Account > My Satellite Receivers, shown on Satellite Images. More animations are on NOAA's GOES page. Source: NOAA/NESDIS STAR.
