TRMM Captured Typhoon Melor on Oct. 6

Caption

TRMM captured another image of Melor at 20:06 UTC Oct. 6 moving north-northeast towards southern Japan. TRMM revealed Melor lost its symmetrical structure with most of the rain (blue, green and red areas, indicating light, moderate and heavy rain, respectively) now to the north of the center (white area surrounded by blue near the bottom). The area of light to moderate rain (blue and green areas, respectively) across the top of the image is associated with a stationary front draped across southern Japan.
