The MODIS instrument onboard NASA's Terra satellite captured this true-color image of Tropical Storm Larry as it was 65 miles east of Coatzacoalcos, Mexico. At the time this image was taken, Larry was moving very slowly to the south at 2 mph and had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. Larry was expected to dump 8 to 12 inches of rain over portions of southeastern Mexico.
