Minnesota Meso Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Given the magnitude of the low level and bulk shear, CAPE like that will be more than sufficient (300-500 J/kg probably isn't going make a whole lot of difference), any breaks in the clouds will obviously exacerbate the situation. Andy, I agree that's why I said that storms could get nasty along the northern edge of the best instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
