Having the 1 min satellite data was vital to my knowledge of the environment and subsequent warnings. Here’s how.

I was able to identify boundaries important to convection and initiation across northwest NE.  There were limited obs there, but it was clear from the satellite imagery.  With the one minute satellite data I was able to find the 6 min satellite derived wind data.  This data was a check to the models.  The RAP had 0-6km shear AOA 30 kts, this suggested that multicell would be the dominate storm mode.   The satellite obs suggested that there was actually a H3 jetlet moving into the area.  The winds associated with this max increased the 0-6km shear to around 45 knots with near 0 surface winds across western NE.

I developed a thought that the storms would initiate across eastern WY and then move into western NE and intensify.    I thought that the jetlet would cause the storms to become stronger and more supercell in nature until it moved out of the area.  This in fact happened.  This lead to a small window ~2 hours of supercells with large hail.  Knowing that the boundary to the north was stationary and cu was starting to initiate along there, suggested that we would could see a short tornado threat as well.  Storms that formed or road the boundary showed rotation.  With lightning jumps and the one min overshooting tops data, I decided to issue a tor.  My thought was that with a long lived overshooting top and a collapsing reflectvity core, that the updraft intensified, leading to more stretching of  vort in the storm and possibly the RFD coming down.  Knowing that 12kft was my lowest tilt, I decided the environment and radar signature may be enough to warn,  No idea if it verified, however without the one minute data looped, I would not have been able to see fine details that suggested what was actually going on
