EWP daily debrief 6/6

Yesterday was a rough day for the satellite products due to extensive cloud cover, but we were able to get some feedback from today's debrief with the EWP forecasters...

SATCAST / UW Cloud-top Cooling
- "There was a lot of cloud cover over the area, so there wasn't a lot of opportunity to use it (CTC)... but we did have one case over the ocean that worked very well and I would have issued a special marine warning for it."

Nearcast
- Forecasters did not find much utility in it yesterday due to ongoing cloud cover issues, especially over FL/GA.

PGLM
- Forecasters mentioned that they would like to have a value of total flashes in the upper corner of the AWIPS II display much like NLDN does... and if possible, a ratio of IC-CG as well.
