 Prob of RI for 30 kt RI threshold=    64%,   no lightning input, exper. algorithm
 Prob of RI for 30 kt RI threshold=     3%, with lightning input, exper. algorithm

Recent Lightning Density History  (Strikes/km2-year)
Date/Time    Inner core (0-100 km)  Rainband (300-400 km)

Sample mean:  14.9                     7.9

 Note: Inner core lightning <  sample mean favors RI
       Rainband lightning   >  sample mean favors RI
