The two strong storms further south both had polygons, but this one did not. I noticed this storm was also strong with high reflectivity values aloft and some rotation. The 1 min cloud flash ENTLN lightning plot only showed one flash associated with this storm. The total lightning detection efficiency is only around 40% in this area which may explain why there was very little lightning associated with it. Since there wasn&#8217;t an ENI DTA cell polygon, I couldn&#8217;t look at the time series. This example showed me that it&#8217;s important not to rely on this data. It would be nice if the lightning detection efficiency were higher in this part of the country or equal across the entire country.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2015\/06\/ENI1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-12052\" src=\"http:\/\/hwt.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/internal\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/ENI1-300x168.png\" alt=\"ENI\" width=\"595\" height=\"339\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>-Helen Hunt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was surprised when I did not see an ENI DTA cell polygon around the storm in southern Mountrail County.
