A new satellite will soon be offering high-definition images of the weather. The USA's newest weather satellite launching today will send back images our way that we have never seen of severe storms, blizzards, hurricanes and lightning strikes.

The powerful satellite can scan the entire Western Hemisphere in five minutes. The school-bus-size satellite, GOES-R was designed and built by Lockheed Martin and will be run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. http://www.noaa.gov/

Holiday Recipees

As the holiday season approaches here is one of Sabrina Soto's favorites, Plantains.

I’m pretty sure every Cuban loves plantains. If I’m wrong, please let me know. I’ve been eating plantains since I was a kid and I'm still not sick of them! I love them as tostones (with Mojo or ketchup) and also stuffed with shrimp ceviche (my Mom makes the best!)

Wow, it's Winter already? The winter storms of the season will be arriving across the US, with portions of the Rockies, north-central states, Great Lakes and then the Northeast corridor expecting about a foot.

The snowfall may create travel problems for motorists and fliers eager to make an early Thanksgiving getaway.

These storms will also bring in colder air, which is expected to spread across much of the central and the eastern USA before the weekend.

The weather forecast brings an abrupt end to what's been the least snowy November in the past decade across the country.
