The use of CTC was restricted quickly across the GLD CWA this evening as the cirrus shield from the first updraft quickly contaminated the region due to cloud ice. From this point on, the MRMS products became the primary aids in deducing severe hail development.

Note the lack of CTC within the GLD CWA, while new updrafts continue to be detected by the CTC across the northern portion of the DDC CWA.
