The vLAPS 1 hr Simulated Reflectivity image is the top image from a run at 23 UTC, valid at 0015 UTC (75 min later), did a fairly good job representing actual base reflectivity from KCLE at 0016 UTC in the image below. The simulated reflectivity seemed to perform best in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The reflectivity may have been overdone in western Ohio.
