Lightning/Reflectivity Trends



It was good to see the lightning trends following those of the reflectivity.  As the storms reach the coast, they began to weaken but the training line over eastern PA southward toward northern MD maintained intensity.

Both the lightning activity and reflectivity were observed to be the most intense due west of Philadelphia.

Fig 1. The strongest storms remained intensive west of Philadelphia.



Fig 2. Both the Flash Event Density (top left) and Total Energy (lower left) were quite high in the vicinity of the strongest updrafts.

Fig 3. The Group Centroid Density (lower right) stood out to me during this time as well.
