The remnants of Tropical Depression Bill soaked a large part of the U.S. from Texas to Washington, D.C. before moving into the Atlantic Ocean. NOAA's GOES-East satellite captured the movement over several days.

An animation of images captured June 20 to 22 from NOAA's GOES-East satellite was created by the NASA/NOAA GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. The animation shows Tropical Depression Bill's remnants moving through the Ohio Valley and moving off the northeastern U.S. The animation includes visible and infrared imagery taken from the GOES-East satellite.
