Convective Initiation across southern OUN CWA

Forecasters were originally split between the Midland and Lubbock TX CWAs, but as it became evident that convection would either not occur or be very limited in the Lubbock CWA, one group of forecasters were moved to the OUN CWA. A cold front sparked shower and thunderstorm development in Southern Oklahoma, and the GOES-R CI algorithm caught the overall initiation pretty well. Below is a loop from 19-22 UTC showing the evolution of the CI product as storms developed.
