Nowcast (NOW) - The AMU Meteorologist should make proper use of real-time TLI for use in the NOW.

1. Storm-specific information - Individual lightning storms should be examined for their respective NLDN-CG flash rates. Attempts should be made to quantify such terms as "EXCESSIVE", "FREQUENT", and "OCCASIONAL" according to actual flash rates. Potential impacts should be mentioned in the NOW.
2. Location-specific information - When possible, statements should be made regarding the electrical character of the atmosphere over ECFL. This may be further broken down into sub-areas or counties (when feasible). Particular attention should be given to the beginning and ending of lightning as seen by LDAR and mentioned in the NOW.
3. User-specific information - At this time, the AMU will consider all interests in ECFL as the "user-community".  The Lightning & Electrification Focal Point, along with the Warning Coordination Meteorologist, will also provide a series of lightning-related "Calls-to-Action" which may be used within the NOW.
