May 2021:
Disclaimer: promets and experts feel free to correct me on what I'm seeing.
I would love to understand how to read those. I’m clueless lol
Same here! I'm running off limited searches on NWS, SPC, etc. to get some intro knowledge, but would really like to get a much better idea of what I'm seeing in these things.
- I see surfaced based CAPE (energy levels) in the data below the actual chart
- The spread from the red air temp line and the lifted parcel dotted white line is decently big (anything near or to the right of the dotted line would be capped environment)
- Wind barbs out of the SW and increasing in strength particularly at 700mb
- Shear value from SFC - 3km just below the chart has a value of 29; which is conducive for supercells.
But like I said, open to correction and help!
There a lot of good online tutorials on YouTube now.
We also have a sub-forum on Storm2k dedicated to meteorology with lots of useful information.
Rumbles of thunder here too. Looking to see if an outflow gets spit out this way. The storm to the north/northwest is not what it was, either (thankfully)

Seems correct to me , the main threat today will be large hail. There are new thunderstorms developing just to the east of I-35,that looks to be the beginning of the storm complex expected to move through over the next few hours.
Already firing up on the north side of the area and more out west.
Outflow on the way. These showers moving-in are low-topped and can’t bust the cap, at least so far. Things could go boom or this party could be over real quick - the usual feast or famine.
As soon as the cells get to the LA state line the storms are blowing up.
Just a thin line of showers here with .05”
That’s OK - we can dry out a little...emphasis on a little.
