CI Product Stuggling With Thicker Middle To High Clouds Over Area.

The Pendleton, OR radar image below shows cells developing across the northwestern part of their CWA. The cursor readout shows a developing cell in north central Klickitat County at 2035 UTC.

The CI and GOES-15 visible imagery in the upper left shows little to no CI probabilities in that area. Interestingly, the cursor readout below shows a small pink area in the same spot as the developing cell above. The pink depicts the snow mask, so I'm not sure why the CI product thinks it is part of the snow mask. Overall, the CI product is struggling to locate these developing cells, likely due to the thick middle to high clouds moving through the area. JJW
