At 1842 and 1843Z, the LJDA signal 7 and 5 sigma jump, respectively, which caused me to take notice (see image #1 below west of “Wayne” county name). On closer inspection, the raw data suggested a movement from 10-13 strikes per minute to near 20, then into the lower 30s over those 2 minutes. A radar image is also included from the case depicting the storm collapsing and never producing significant weather. Reflectivity data was unremarkable and ProbSevere remained in the 30s. No action was taken by the warning operator.

Is it worth using total strikes as a background filter when STD values are so small, and total strikes are < 20, in order to reduce FARs?
