Group 2:  Pueblo CWA.  Interrogating two storms.  Were unable to use CI products as problems existed with cirrus shield and technical problems (AWIPS) delayed start of operations until after convection initiation.  Also dealing with data latency for overshooting top product.

Storm (1):  NE Crowley County.  Products used:   all-tilts, MESH, 50 dBZ core height, 50 dBZ at -20 C.  No warning at this time, though possible soon.  Also, keeping an eye of rotation track product for future use.  Examining overshooting top product, but difficult to interpret storm relationship due to parallax offset.

Storm (2):  SE Pueblo County.  Larger core, somewhat multicellular appearance and less strong aloft than storm (1).   (Using similar products as w/storm (1)).  Warning unlikely at current time.
