WFO views that are customarily sourced from GOES-East (GOES-19) will be sourced from GOES-West (GOES-18) for the duration of the GOES-19 outage. Locations in the easternmost portion of the U.S. may appear skewed or distorted. This is an unavoidable consequence of using GOES-West datadata.

0.64 µm - Red Band - 0.5 km resolution - Visible band 2 is in the red portion of the spectrum and has the highest resolution of any ABI band at 0.5 km, and for that reason is the primary visible band. It is used primarily to monitor the evolution of clouds throughout the daylight hours.

GOES-16 Band 2 corresponds approximately to the old GOES-13 visible channel.

Band 2 is a visible channel and is therefore black during nighttime hours.
