Abstract: A method and system for determining and displaying lightning potential information is provided. The method includes receiving a radar data and temperature data for a grid location. If the radar data is above a radar threshold and the temperature data is below a temperature threshold a predictor field is computed. One or more predictor fields may be used to determine a lightning potential. Fuzzy logic may be used to combine predictor fields into a lightning potential. A grid of lightning potential values may be used to determine the lightning potential at a target location, or to indicate the lightning potential in a region outside an inner outlook region including the target location. A display may include an icon with an inner and outer portion displaying lightning potential in an inner and outer outlook region. A display may further include future lightning potential information.
