Overshooting top in SRSO, no algorithm trigger, parallax error

SRSO vis channel showed an overshooting top (Fig 1: Gif Loop) in McLean Co, but the overshooting top detection algorithm did not make a detection on this feature. This was useful information in that it showed it wasn’t vigorous enough to actually be quantified as strong enough to be detected.  Also noticeable was the 1 minute lightning was displaced south of the overshooting top feature, but aligned with the radar echo. After discussion with Chris S. the displacement seems to be a result of parallax error.  –Cattywampus
