Continued Development throughout IA/MO Captured by UW-CTC

Continued convective development has been occurring throughout IA/MO over the past hour.  UW-CTC has been consistently detecting strong cooling within the cloud tops of the developing storms.  The following sequence of images (valid 1955 UTC through 2015 UTC) shows the consistent nature of the detections for this case by the UW-CTC algorithm:

Could not get AWIPS 2002 UTC image due to technical issues with AWIPS-2

A fellow colleague has stated that these detections were not only ahead of the warnings associated with the storms, but also ahead of the severe watches that were issued.  The two following images show the watch areas issued for the region.  The first watch, which is a Tornado Watch for MN/WI area was first issue at 1925 UTC.  UW-CTC had multiple detections in the MN area prior to the watch being issued in the MN/WI domain.

The second watch area, a Severe T-Storm Watch for S.W. WI, IA, and western IL, was issued at 2035 UTC.  Again, the UW-CTC product had multiple strong detections within this domain prior to the watch being issued.

Perhaps the UW-CTC could aid in situational awareness for watch issuance, too?
