At 2146 UTC, made decision to warn on cell to the east of Pauldon. Reflectivity wise, storm had lots of indication of large hail with 50 dbz echoes reaching to around 40 kft AGL and ZDR values approaching 0 in lowest scans. IR data indicated cloud top temperatures around -73 C that stayed consistent for several scans. Lightning data however, did not show much of an increase and was in the 30-50 flashes per 5 minutes range which was slightly higher than surrounding storms. Probsevere increased to around 50% just after warning issuance.
