GLM Lightning

GLM gridded data seem to be missing in the southern sections of Clay and Yankton County into Cedar County. Why nothing on the gridded image when other networks are showing much more? -ams

Confirmation of high winds from Yankton ASOS (YKN) with ProbSvr of 98% and ProbWind of 94%. -ams


Outflow on 1min visible

Here's a look at how 1min updates and .5km resolution helps identify outflow from storms. Features that would not always be visible on in prior GOES data.


Yet another jump another SVR

Another SVR based on lightning jump and DVIL and probhail of 96 %.

Quick ProbSevere Capture

FSD radar of probsevere with 0% tornado at this point.
