Oh, 100%. My top 5 “best-looking” this year:
1. Gary, SD
2. Scott City, KS
3. That one Nebraska rainbow tornado
4. Lake City, AR
5. Plevna, KS (although less because it was pretty-looking and more because it looked like a demon)

Sheweeee

in case if anyone was interested convective chronicles has a playlist one being a definitive guide to weather map analyst and also definitive guide to skew-t and hodographs i also found it helpful maybe as practice to watch a few or several older previous forecast discussions as well plus also other playlist guides as well or also rewatch the playlists i mentioned again over and over

note ways to tell if something will be too messy.

LCL of any kind < 200 meters
MLCINH Greater then -3
LowRH or MidRH over 90%
4-6km SR shear < 8
PW > 1.8

What am I looking for? I don’t know what to see in this chart.

It's a Skew-T forecast sounding (box averaged over southern Wisconsin), the link @KakashiHatake2000 posted might be helpful for you.

I was mainly looking at the 0-3KM MLCAPE value (200 j/kg, which is quite high), 0-1 KM and 0-3 KM SRH values and the curvature in the low levels of the hodograph (portion on the upper right).

Yes the PW is rather high, but with less SR inflow in these Midwest summer MCV setups you can get smaller cells (mini supercells) that aren't as rainy as you'd otherwise expect.
