that is light (not lightning) catching the higher clouds tops from the low, setting sun...see the ecliptic line just to the west of the system....the system is now in the infrared picture zone (night), the extra light energy is causing a 'flare' in the infrared spectrum (overload of light energy/heat)....there may be lightning there, but, that is NOT what you are seeing...
