Lightning Data Prompts SVS

LBB remains a convective mess. Overall storms have been sub-severe. The flash extent density for a cluster of storms in the extreme SE portion of the CWA caught  my eye.

KLBB pGLM 2153ZThe two light pink pixels were around 56-57 (50 being the general minimum for severe storms) at 2153Z.

Looking at the other guidance we could use today, there was a 3 sigma lightning jump and a prob severe of 90% at 2149Z.

KLBB prob severe 2149ZI went ahead and issued the warning based on the lightning and prob severe guidance, despite the storms not looking overly impressive on radar. As has been the case the rest of the day across our area, there have been no storm reports.
