CI gives a lead time of 45 minutes!

The highest CI of the day matched up with the highest ProbSevere Probability...so far! The CI algorithm showed a 61% probability at 2030Z. Then...as convection formed and moved northwest towards that specific area where the CI was...the cell intensified and became severe. By 2215Z, the ProbSevere probability peaked at 50% (without any satellite information) and a warning was issued!
