End of Day 4

A generally uneventful day for the BOI CWA.  Widespread pesky cirrus cloud debris negated much usefulness with GOES CI.  On the other hand prob severe did provide useful information with high based convection that developed over southern Idaho with one lone vigorous storm prompting the only severe thunderstorm warning of the afternoon.

GOES LAP once again provided good environmental data in clear sky retrieval areas over the northern/central CWA and of which matched nicely with surface parcel modified 2103Z NUCAPS pass.   Otherwise limited lightning production resulted in no viable lightning jump output.  Finally, given limited low level satellite derived wind information prior to convective initiation across northern NV and southern ID, GOES SRSOS 1 min visible imagery proved valuable in providing low level cumulus cloud tracer motions.
