The CI product is deemed most useful leading up to a severe weather event. As intended, it seems that it can provide at least an idea where convection will occur. There are two things that came to mind when looking at this tool.

On quieter days this tool can become noisy. By editing the colors in the RGB color model, I was able to black out all probabilities below 50% and to clean up the product. This will bring attention to the higher probabilities, as opposed to cluttering the field with lower end probabilities. The threshold (<20%, <30%, <40% etc) a person chooses to ignore is up to the user. To do this, though, you must continually edit the color model. This isn’t difficult, but  takes time. It would be nice if a default button existed that allows you to black out a specified range. Below is a result between the two (normal view 1-100% and 50-100% probabilities, respectively):

The second thought pertains to what application this could have during lake effect snow events. In the proper environment, convective snow banding could lead to heavy, consistent snowfall of greater than 35 Dbz. This may be a useful tool for updates to geographical locations of higher intensity snowfalls in these events.
