Our (likely) hailer in the southern BYZ CWA had a pretty big jump in flash rate. Big TBSS showed up at 2206z as the first climb in lightning rate occurred – although maybe this first climb was an artifact of the dubious lack of lightning noted in my previous post. That said, I don’t think it accounts for all of the increase – the updraft really cranking up is evident on NEXRAD, too. The two in tandem were good for increasing confidence in a warning.
