Thoughts on CI with afternoon mountain convection

Over the past 15 minutes, we’re starting to get some reflectivity to fire west of Denver.

Interestingly, the CI product never flagged those (the exception would be the northernmost cell near Rustic). I wonder if it’s because the clouds had been festering for quite some time and thus never flagged them because it thought they had already initiated. Before 2000z, there was no reflectivity showing up (again, exception is the northernmost cell).
