AL08       Initial vmax, lat, lon:    35.   15.5   -51.8

 Prob of RI for 30 kt RI threshold=    19%,   no lightning input, exper. algorithm
 Prob of RI for 30 kt RI threshold=    17%, with lightning input, exper. algorithm

Recent Lightning Density History  (Strikes/km2-year)
Date/Time    Inner core (0-100 km)  Rainband (300-400 km)
10 0831 06    24.0                     3.2
10 0831 00     0.9                     6.0

Sample mean:  21.5                    14.7

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