Away from the main activity occurring in the Upper Midwest (previous blog posts), thunderstorms are also developing in association with the upper low. The UAHCI algorithm has captured this development over Nebraska. Severe weather is not anticipated with this activity. GOES is currently in Rapid Scan Operations, so this will closely mimic the temporal resolution of GOES-R. The first image is from 2032 UTC with SOS values over 70.
This second image is from 2040 UTC, with a strength of signal over 80.
The last image is from 2045 with a strength of signal continued over 80. The storms went onto initiate over central Nebraska! The temporal resolution of GOES-R will surely help convective initiation algorithms.
