CI-East: Success and Failure all in one.

This is a case where I found CI to be helpful in helping focus attention where there was nothing on radar but it was showing potential for convective development. Fig 1 shows a swath of about 23% over Kidder Co and about 33% over Burleigh Co to the West at 21:15z.  About a hour later at 22:22z (Fig 2), we saw development on radar over Kidder Co but nothing over Burleigh which had the higher probability.  This was helpful in this case because I was not anticipating development in this area, but the CI helped grab my attention to watch this area. –Cattywampus.
