Storm Cell and Lightning Information
Storm cell icons

path of that storm in the immediate future.
Red cones appear with a storm cell icon, and the widest part of each cone points in the direction of the
projected path of the storm cell. The red lines in each cone indicate where the storm will most likely be in the
near future. Each line represents 15 minutes.
Lightning strikes are represented by lightning bolt icons
➋
. Lightning appears on the precipitation screen if
strikes were detected within the last seven minutes. The ground-based lightning detection network detects
cloud-to-ground lightning only.
