Have been monitoring a long-lived supercell which appeared to finally look like it was falling apart. Had a subsequent increase in lightning on pGLM 2325z (fig 1) over west Elbert Co. coupled with a 2 sigma jump .  Reflectivity then showed an increase with 60+dbz about 10 minutes later (fig 2 – gif loop 2325-2345z). The lightning was the only piece of information which showed the potential for this to occur. Indispensable in this case.  –Cattywampus
