(Quick, call the weather channel, so somebody can go stand in all all this weather!)

Wow. That's amazing.

Here's something else...

The Jovian moons Io and Europa passing in front of Jupiter's Red Spot, as recorded by the Cassini Spacecraft.

Huh, that just looks fake, like CGI.

Huh, that just looks fake, like CGI.

Same people who faked the Apollo Moon landings, so they are good.

Here's more on the video's provenence

That was just incredulity with the appearance, not with the fact. It just looks too clear compared to a lifetime of experience with fairly crappy videos from space, but I don't doubt its authenticity.

JPL photograph

There's a peculiar white spot on the lower right. Looking at it blown up makes it look like high white clouds higher than the general cloud deck. Which makes me think of a splash, as if some large asteroid sized body hit Jupiter and splashed its atmosphere (hypothesized to be liquid deeper in without a clear gas-liquid boundary like surface of the ocean here on Earth). That circle of white clouds must be well over a thousand miles across, so it would have been a planet-killer impact if it happened here, if that's what it was. Jupiter hardly noticed it.
