ENI Lightning Jump

ENI continues to handle more isolated cells better than scattered convection. I have been following various forms of ENI data (track, plots w points, history, and current strike data). The lightning jump display is performing well right now. The storm itself does not have a very high amount of strikes, but the correlation between lightning jumps and storm intensification is holding. Increasing dbz returns can be seen in these radar images.

Here you see the lightning jump presented through ENI data on the upper right panel.  LIGHTNING JUMP

The radar reflectivity then ramps up following the 2112z spike.
