Convective Initiation and Radar

With the OUN cwa quieting down, decided to take a look at how the convective initiation product was working this afternoon. The animated image below (click to view), highlights a couple areas (both in the center and upper left of the image) where the CI algorithm picked up on the development of showers and thunderstorm. Meanwhile, in the upper right hand part of the image, there were several instances where the CI algorithm showed probabilities over 60% and nothing developed as of 2245Z.
