6/1/15: Bismarck, ND

Several cells persist across Williams and northern Mountrail counties.  Noticed the cell over northern Mountrail showed CG lightning preceding any IC lightning. In this case the IC didn’t provide any leadtime or SA for a potential CG. Fig 1 shows 22:17UTC with a CG followed by 22:26UTC (fig 2) which shows the IC strikes.
