This wasn’t the best day to look at LMA color tables because there weren’t many strong storms. I have used Flash Density in Huntsville  on strong storms so I am familiar with the default colormap. Below is an example of a weak storm with the LMA 1 vs LMA Default color table.

So here is LMA 1. One positive about this is because the scale between 0-10 has a lot of colors so those levels stand out quite a bit. This is useful in pulse storms and weaker storms. Above that you can see it is more graduated.

Here is the same cell but with the default. You can see under 10 or so, it just looks white and doesn’t show any pinpoint of the updraft or much variation under 10.

So I think that LMA 1 is good for weak storms but then LMA default for stronger storms!
