REGION WERE AVAILABLE FOR 00Z GFS INGEST..

FYI...AN RSO OF GOES-E HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR TPC. THE

*note-they are shifting a satellite for near-exclusive tracking and coverage of Bonnie and Charley. The satellite has a Rapid Scan Operation mode in which it takes more frequent pictures than usual. Hence, faster updates on some of the Sats.
Sat is short for satellite-sorry 'bout that-edit
