GOES R-CI has had a tough time detecting CI across eastern portions (rectangle) and far NW portions of the CWA so far due to more in the way of convective debris and cirrus in these areas. Those areas are where the severe storms have occurred.

It has done well detecting null areas for development. CI has never gotten above 60 percent in the “clearer” areas (scalloped area)…which based on skill threshold should not have had CI.
