Matthew Reagan
Mississippi State University

Objective
• Create model to predict severe hail events using strictly cloud-to-ground lightning
![Page 3: Cloud to Ground Lightning Climatology and Hail Prediction in the Mid-South Matthew Reagan Mississippi State University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f585503460f94c7d0e6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hypothesis
• Cloud to ground lightning activity will change as a hail core descends to the ground

Cloud-to-Ground Lightning
• Percentage of Positive and Negative Strikes– Reap and MacGorman 1989
• Severe Weather and Positive CG– Reap and MacGorman 1989– MacGorman and Burgess 1994– Liu et al. 2006

Summary
• CG lightning peaks in summer months
• Positive CG accounts for 5.31% of CG lightning with a peak in winter months
• Script has proven flexible with storm mode
• Logistic regression model out performed artificial intelligence
• Storm environment factors need to be studied
