The spacecraft will continue the long term geostationary monitoring of U.S. weather. The spacecraft will monitor hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, flash floods, and other severe weather as well as provide short-term weather forecasting or nowcasting. Combined with Doppler radar and automated surface weather stations, real-time GOES data will greatly aid weather foecasters in providing better warnings of severe weather.
