Forecasters are hard at work examining the experimental products in both the Norman and Cheyenne CWAs.

With upper-level support in place for the first time this week, both the Colorado region and Oklahoma region are already seeing convection and (nearly) severe storms.  Severe Thunderstorm Watches have been issued for both regions of focus today with storms developing shortly after operations in the testbed began.

The pGLM lightning data is looking good over the Colorado region, but currently the OKLMA appears to be having some systematic problems.

Darrel is trouble-shooting visualization of the Lightning Jump Algorithm in AWIPS2 so that it can be viewed in either region. (currently limited to the floater domain which is only over OK)
