Is the cap breaking? Brad Arnold is saying that it may have broken or is in the process of doing so…and he’s live in the field
Last look at the FWD sounding at 18Z, a cap still was in place, but the clearing and subsequent heating is eroding it as we speak.Is the cap breaking? Brad Arnold is saying that it may have broken or is in the process of doing so…and he’s live in the field
Mesoanalysis shows that the cap is eroding across north Texas but there's still pretty substantial CIN in place further north along the Red River (which isn't surprising since that was forecast to be in place there at this point).Is the cap breaking?

New Tornado Watch already up in correspondence with the most recent MD (less than a half hour ago). That was fast.

They've been struggling to produce for a while, though there have already been some noteworthy hail reports from them.Both cells north of Dallas are rotating.
Would be nice if we could get another sounding SSW of FWD to see what our 3CAPE values are. If they’ve shifted to >0, then we’re getting into the range of where these storms can tap into some low level instability.If the cap breaks…and a lone cell manages to form in the extremely high parameter space…it may well go on a significant tornado journey…
The sun is trying to peek out here in Central Texas. It went from straight cloud cover to breaks in the clouds. 80 degrees and 70.1 dewpointLast look at the FWD sounding at 18Z, a cap still was in place, but the clearing and subsequent heating is eroding it as we speak.

No better explanation for thisAlso as weather fans, we have to be careful to not overhype each system. (Which has been evident on this forum). There’s been one account on TW for the last 6 months or so, and it catches the most heat for posting their opinions which is normally the most reserved/conservative and correct. Yes, eventually we will have stronger systems, maybe even tomorrow, but we can’t act like every system will produce a strong tornado. That’s why many people don’t take it seriously these days.
