A potentially severe storm (seen below) tracking through Young County…with 70 DBZ at 35 kft. -20 C level which is at 24 kft. Warning was issued at 2125z based on this intensity.

ENI is maintaining a significant thunderstorm alert on this storm (lower right panel of 4 panel seen below). This may be due to overlapping cell polygons (upper right panel of 4 panel seen below). The combo of the two cell flash rates would have put it over the 40 flash/min at 2018z (threshold for a dangerous thunderstorm alert). CIMSS svr prob has been steady at 94 % since that time..

Lightning flash rates (below) with this cell have been pulsing with an upward trend…but there have been some noticeable spikes.
