This instability is awesome...

SBcapes...between 2500-3500 J/KG

MLcape...between 2000-3000 J/KG (THIS IS SICK)

MUcape...between 2500-4000 J/KG

LI...between -5C and -7C

Ncape...between 0.15 and 0.25 (This is solid given the mid-level lapse rates)

It's really that cap near 600mb that is preventing this from taking off, but the airmass is juiced.

That plus 500mb heights are rising rather quickly.

We'll just have to hope that second vort max near 0z can do some magic. I guess this is what the 12z mesos are suggesting

If you look at the showers that have formed they're all capped around 15,000 feet. Updrafts hitting a wall at that level.

What we need to see is whether that cap weakens over the next few hours and updrafts can tap into the fat CAPE above 500mb.

totally worth it

non-subscription GR3 data

was invaluable tornado chasing in the Plains earlier this year (we had mobile broadband and subscription GR3 with us too)...

There are so many amazing apps out there.

So far I have...

Weathergeek pro 2

Weatherwall mobile which is awesome

weatherTAP

MyWeather for svr alerts

Next I'll be getting radarscope and weather 4d
