The TRMM satellite was placed into service in November 1997. Most of the rain was ahead of the storm (the broad blue and green area indicating light to moderate rain, respectively). The southeastern part of the eyewall, however, appears ragged. The data shows rain bands circling a rather large eye, which contains an area of intense rain (dark red arc) in the northwest eyewall. The rain rates are overlaid on infrared data from the TRMM Visible Infrared Scanner. Rain rates in the center swath are from the TRMM Precipitation Radar, while those in the outer swath are from the TRMM Microwave Imager. local time (23:05 UTC) on September 11, 2006, by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. The image above shows the hurricane not long after it had passed Bermuda. It had not exceeded Category 1 intensity, nor was it projected to become more powerful, as of September 12. Florence formed from a tropical depression (low pressure area) on September 3, and it became the second hurricane of the season as it approached Bermuda. Before Florence, only Ernesto had managed to briefly reach minimal hurricane intensity. Although Florence was the sixth named storm of the season, no major hurricanes had occurred as of mid-September. Science Technology Office.As the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season neared the typical peak of storm activity in mid-September, Hurricane Florence was making its way northward through the western Atlantic near Bermuda.
