Hurricane Matthew’s Path Tracked and Rainfall Totals Shown

In this animation Hurricane Matthew travels up the east coast from Florida to the Carolinas. On October 8, 2016 Matthew (still a category 2 hurricane) dumps massive amounts of rain throughout the southeast dousing North and South Carolina. GPM then flies over the area revealing precipitation rates on the ground. As we zoom in closer, GPM’s DPR sensor reveals a curtain of 3D rain rates within the massive weather system.
