PGLM Flash Extent Density in Linear Convection

The PGLM flash extent density product was useful at picking out areas of more severe convection in a linear storm segment. While the lightning “jumps” were not all that impressive (~20 to 30 flashes/min), they were still significant enough in conjunction with MESH near an inch to issue a warning. This is evident in the four panel image below which shows FED, Comp Reflectivity and MESH.
