A new animation of satellite imagery shows the flow of moisture that created flooding rainfall in Colorado.

NOAA's GOES-West satellite imagery from September 10 to 14, 2013 reveals a persistent flow of clouds and moisture from the south into the inter-mountain area of the western United States that caused severe flooding in Colorado. The stream of moisture and clouds were maintained by counter-clockwise flow around a sprawling low-pressure system.

The 51 second animation was created at NASA's GOES Project at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., using five days of GOES-West satellite imagery. The background map is a true-color "blue marble" view from space.
