I wasn't really discussing it with regards to being a difference maker...just love looking at numbers like that lol.  Sometimes I'll just look at mesoanalysis of the central Plains when they have these massive cape values and just stare at them for several minutes.

I was staring at some insane Supercell Composite and Significant Tornado values today up in NY. It's a shame they went to waste.

The NAM just looks funny to me.

 

Unless the GFS or Euro show something similar I would certainly take it with a grain of salt.  The NAM loves to do some crazy things.

 

However, though, one thing that isn't entirely crazy are the height falls and the NAM has decent height falls occurring.  Also, 700mb temps cool regardless b/c it appears the core of those +700mb temps slide east as the day goes on.

 

I'm still though not really sold on much developing tomorrow, though it's nice to see various models spitting QPF out.

There is also cooling at H5 so def seems like some sort of cold pool deing depicted by the models/

the cooler H5 temps are mostly directly related to the steep lapse rates of the EML itself. When doing composite studies for the paper, you would see zero or even slightly negative H5 temp anomalies in the EML where your 850/700 temp anomalies were through the roof.

That makes a great deal of sense!

Haha,  jesus ... you almost wonder if at some point it gets so unstable that the trigger is instability in its self and an a-bomb just goes off..

 

By the way, skies unzipped in IN and OH this afternoon where torridity was broken by massive out blast of airmass thunder convection type.

BTV WRF is out of its teets later tomorrow and Thursday. It can be aggressive at times, but I actually look at it since it has had some success.

It's main issue is going too nuts with QPF, especially in certain situations with orographics. It understands the terrain and local effects to wind, precip, and temps but seems to go on steroids sometimes. Overall it's a good meso-scale model though usually WRT timing and placement of features.
