Use of GOES-16 Vis/IR 2 Panel and Radar Situational Awareness Screen

One way I was able to monitor trends in convection was using a 2 panel display of 1-minute visible and 1-minue IR next two a radar display which included Prob Severe. Warming cloud tops as well as a more smooth look on the visible imagery gave me confidence the storms of concern were weakening. This coincided with Prob Severe values decreasing fairly rapidly.

Other cells are developing on an outflow boundary well to the NW of the first band of convection, and this display has been useful in monitoring the trends over the last 30 minutes.
