Development of storms in LWX


The forecasters are concentrating on the Sterling WFO and Nashville WFO today. Initiation has already occurred across LWX with the GOES-R CI algorithm picking up pretty well on the initiation. Below are two loops featuring the GOES-R CI product and the subsequent development of radar echoes at the -10 C isotherm. Apologies for the fast loops as the AWIPS tool created these automatically. However, you can see the warmer colors across the LWX CWA develop into radar echoes 10-15 minutes later. The first lightning strike

GOES-R CI product from 1715 -1830 UTC
MRMS -10 C reflectivity from 1828 to 1906 UTC
