i wonder if there is some bright banding occuring in those cells? the temps can't be very warm up there.

Actually, NLDN showed quite a bit of lightning with that activity, even more so than what's going on in the Plains/Midwest. Temperatures were around 50F at the time of the event, with a few reports of 55F mixed in. With the freezing layer being near 700mb at the time, and the radar beam most likely being below that level, I doubt there was much bright banding occuring. So, good ol' fashion thunderstorms! :eek:
