Development of Sig Prob Severe in the Future?

Once again prob severe provides ~10-15 minutes of lead time using ~75% over typical radar thresholds. After we issued the warning we noticed signatures suggestive of significant hail sized (e.g., persistent deep TBSS, sidelobe contamination, transient BWER). This raises the question, could criteria be adjusted in the algorithm to provide sig severe guidance? This could be very useful operationally for the most high impact events that cause the most property damage and threat to life.
