pGLM color tables in NTX

Example pGLM total lightning color tables in north Texas around 0045Z.

All are layered over radar mosaic.  Aware though that this may not be the way many other users build the map.

Default
Not much resolution in values below <10, but this may or may not be a meaningful feature.  The forecaster needs more information to form an opinion about that.
Drawn to the very distinct separation from the background by starting the table with white (unlike most other layers) and also to the logical flow through the colors.

LMA_1
Something of a compromise between above and below.  Pops above background, and resolves very low values <10.

LMA_2
Outline not always cleanly separated from background
Ramping from yellow to orange and back to yellow does not seem intuitive to the forecaster at this time.
