2138, 2143 and 2149 UTC SVR's: KFWD

A couple of severe thunderstorm warning were issued based on the Prob Severe Values being 99% coupled with the radar data (2138 UTC storm).  This storm looked capable of producing damaging winds and large hail, as it had a low-level wind max descending out of the storm.  The storm became a left mover as it split from the original storm. The storm is depicted below.


The 2140 UTC storm had the 60 dBz reflectivity echo core lifted to 35 kft AGL, well above the -20C height of 22 kft AGL.  It had impressive upper level divergence signature with a tripole of 3 sigma lightning jump increase seen in the upper left panel below. The middle segment was where the warning was issued at 2143 UTC.


The final image shows all 3 warnings as of 2149 UTC...they are coincident with the LTG jump(s).
