Dust RGB

Dust RGB, 31 May 2013, 00 UTC - 23 UTC (Source: DWD)

The Dust RGB highlights the high clouds in the warm front in a clear red color. At 15:00 UTC the thunderstorms reach a line stretching from Lithuania over northern Poland and the eastern parts of Germany on to eastern Bavaria, Austria and Croatia. There is a clear difference between the thin cirrus clouds in black on the edge of this line and the orange and brownish lower- and mid-tropospheric clouds.
