GOES-R CI Across Far Western Texas

051413 1945 UTC GOES-R CI

Shown above is the 1945Z GOES-R CI. Note the two red values of 90% or greater within the panhandle of far western Texas.

051413 1941 UTC Base Reflectivity

051413 1956 UTC Base Reflectivity

Both of the red areas, especially the southeast one, depicted an increase in 0.5 Degree reflectivity indicating developing convection. This product seems to be doing a good job with new developing convection, though much of this convection would not sustain itself likely due to a weakly sheared environment. I would like to see how this product responds to a more strongly sheared environment.
