MAF, revisiting product timeline

Earlier post involved timeline of developments with first storms of the shift in Brewster Co, TX.

Some four hours later, a look at Presidio Co storm, near Marfa.  Notable mostly that it represents the challenges of today’s CWA.  (and promise of GOES-R capabilities)
– roughly 150 nm from KMAF NEXRAD, on other side of higher terrain
– along 104 degree W longitude Eastern US/Western US ENI zones
– in area of declining total lightning detection efficiency
– at edge of today’s rapid scan window

Prob Severe
2244Z – first passes 50% (71%), growth rate and glaciation n/a
2356Z – peak value 82%

CI (N/A), stymied by cirrus in this instance

ENI trend also really N/A, cell tracking was not started until 2359

MESH
2348Z – first passes 1″ mark
