Overall with the pattern in place it seemed the DVIL and ProbSevere helped me to make warning decisions more than other products.  I used base velocity for a few of the SPS/warning decisions.  DVIL and clusters of total lightning helped focus on the stronger storms.  However there were several storms that we issued on with lower lightning data.  In particular the cell over Williamson county did not have a lot of lightning with it, but it did produce several reports of hail…and we later learned it had some wind damage as well.

We had some hiccups with the SRS satellite data not coming in.

Lightning time series data were not as difficult to work with as I anticipated.  I would expect a problem though if I had more than one storm to focus on.  Perhaps with experience that will get easier.  It was straight-forward to understand when cells falsely jumped in lightning data, but because of cell mergers.
