The NWCSAF product “Rapid Developing Thunderstorms – RDT” demonstrates that it indeed is good in highlighting properties of relatively young but rapidly intensifying storms (see red bordered areas in northern half of screenshot).

Based on their nature it is much more difficult to tackle large mesoscale convective complexes, as can be seen in the southern half of the screenshot. There the detection of the most active area of MCSs or MCCs is challenging.
