Lightning Jump Sample

Image 1.  The Lightning Jump showed a 2 sigma at 2358Z (left image) in southwest TX.  The cell was in the process of strengthening at that time (right image).

Within 10 minutes the storm strengthened and showed a TBSS.

Will note this is using 0.5 degree and is 18,000 ft AGL about 130 nm away from the radar.

The Lightning Jump increased to a 4 sigma at 0010Z (left image).  A few minutes later this was reflected in the radar (right image).20
