Increase in lightning activity across SGF CWA

GLM flash extent density (top left) and flash event density (top right) have shown increasing trends over the last 20-30 minutes across southern Missouri, within the broken line approaching the LSX CWA. Both of these products help to identify locations within a linear feature where updrafts are maximized. Additionally, the total optical energy product seems to be matching up well with respect to trends when compared to the ENTLN cloud flashes and CG strikes.
