Summary

edit
Description
English: NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Hurricane Paine in the Eastern Pacific Ocean when it was still a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Paine continued to weaken overnight and lost hurricane status by the next day as it continued nearing Baja California, Mexico. By September 21, Paine was a post-tropical system remaining offshore as it dissipated. However, moisture from Paine was drawn northwestward over the southwestern United States, bringing rain to part of California and Arizona. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on September 19, 2016. At that time, Pain was approaching Baja California, Mexico and sported a ragged eye measuring about 23 mi (37 km) in diameter. The strongest storms appeared in Hurricane Paine’s western quadrant.
