There has been much discussion of the lightning data.  Forecasters are interested in lightning, but are uncertain how it will help them in warning operations.  They have yet to get in and work with the data.  Matthew suggests that more training on typical LMA data signatures – related to storm morphology, would help get him/others ready to view this data in the HWT operational environment.

The group will break for dinner and then reconvene at 7:30pm CDT.  Groups of 2 will attack archive cases using PAR and CASA data, respectively.
