On Oct. 6 at 3:06 a.m. EDT (0706 UTC) NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite analyzed Hurricane Delta's cloud top temperatures and found strongest storms (yellow) were around Delta's center of circulation and in a band of thunderstorms south of the center. Temperatures in those areas were as cold as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 62.2 Celsius). Strong storms with cloud top temperatures as cold as minus 70 degrees (red) Fahrenheit (minus 56.6. degrees Celsius) surrounded both of those areas.
