The “Lightning Flash Rate Density” product is the total cloud-cloud and cloud-ground instantaneous lightning flashes per unit time per unit area. Important Note: This product does not explicitly depict discrete lightning strikes, but is based on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) parameters and serves as a proxy for where lightning is forecasted to occur by showing flashes per unit time per unit area. | Flashes per square km (km^-2 5-min^-1). Flashes per square mi (fl mi^2 5-min^-1) | F: [0 hours, +90 hours]
