To tie in with a previous post of overlaying two image products (and adjusting the transparency), I tried that out with the OAX radar and the Lightning Jump product.

On its own, the color table for the lightning jump makes the jumps stand out really well but unfortunately it covers up the radar data.

By adjusting the transparency (70% on Lightning Jump), I found the combined use of the two products to be much more useful.

Unfortunately with the colors in the current table, they become washed out at time with the greens and yellows.  While it isn’t as big of an issue with smaller cells (first image below), but when the convection is more widespread (bottom image from west Texas) it makes it harder to see with the colortable.
