Comparing Storm Strength


NWS Wilmington had a strong t-storm statement for the storm crossing into Ohio.  The severe probabilities had increased rapidly, and in the text it stated:
Frequent cloud-to-ground lightning... 
  
The GLM did not match at the time of the statement being issued.  But then rapidly increased a couple minutes after.  So there was a little discrepancy and if you went by the GLM only, it did not look impressive for a strong storm or statement.  The storm is entering into a more impressive environment.  Possibly continuing to strengthen.  And if so, could become severe quickly based on the trends.
