No To Low CI and Storm Initiation

Noticed that a cell (circled on image) over northeastern Wyoming did not have any severe CI, low CI (17%) before it initiated. Not sure what may be happening with the algorithm. There was no cirrus canopy around the cell other than other convective initiation (south) and clear air (north).  Included the beginning image:





Here is the last image I took of the storm:


You can see that it has a strong updraft (via IR Satellite). I do not have severe CI displayed but it had no values in around that particular cell. With it moving towards a gradient in instability, could see it strengthen further soon.

More to come...
