A supercell moving northward along the dryline over the Texas Panhandle region underwent a split over the last 20 minutes or so. Preceding the split, there was a notable decrease in 5 minute GLM Flash Extend Density and Event Density. After the split, there were to notable maxes in both of these products. However, in the GLM Minimum Flash Area, this trend was not observed due to the more coarse resolution of the product. Better resolution may have helped identify both updraft regions within the 2 storms after the split. Additionally, a downward trend was noted in 5 Event Density and Flash Extent Density despite no real change in the ENTLN lightning activity. A loop of GLM data and IR/Vis depicting this storm split is below.
