Total Lightning to forecast strengthening storm

lightning data

 

I have been watching the Total Lightning product over the developing storm and it shows both flash initiation density and flash extent density that have been increasing over the last 30 minutes.  That coupled with the increase on the Prob Severe, would lead me to believe this is nearing severe limits and I would then issue a warning.  I really like these products because it shows where the updraft is developing and also where hail would be found. ~ Vollmar
