NE Colorado Supercell

After moving almost due east along the CO/WY border the storm turned right and intensified. It was likely producing large hail based on radar data by 2245UTC. GLM during the time of intensification showed lower flash sizes with increased flash rates. The color curve for the flash area was consistently blue which made it more difficult to see the trend in decreasing flash size. Other GLM products such as GED and Total Energy had more continuously "bright" colors but didn't show much difference in trends from non-severe to severe. FED remained in single digits throughout which was surprising as I was expecting much higher values (probably based on experience w/ ENI data).  - S. Coulomb.
