Severe Weather 2023

You know where. LOL! The usual. Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. I had already figured we would have a threat next week because it's my birthday week.
 
Huh, that next week potential threat could be the real deal. Climatology wise the deep south is in a sweet spot.

Wee bit in voodoo land, but looks pretty potent.
 
Since the “cap” is more applicable as the severe wx season shifts, this sounding absolutely
Blew my mind from DVN on June 18 2009 that I found from a post on storm track.

Supercell Composite of almost 60 and 7000 k/j of cape, but with meager shear. Want to know the result? Cap Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency with one lone nocturnal supercell over Wisconsin lol.

GFS 12z run has backed off on the threat for next week (26th-30th) and keeps everything localized in Texas.

Same thing with the 6z run. Still nothing on the horizon that screams “potent set up”, outside of the very conditional based set ups today and tomorrow.

It Does back up some of the year analogs Trey had. Highly active early months, a big outbreak in the Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri region, and a couple of plains set ups in May and June.

Fairly easy to see why this cap Atmospheric Anti-Climax too. Lack of depth to the moist layer (and substantially lower MLCAPE than SBCAPE) as a result of a lack of lift and mixing. The cap did not lift or get mixed out. Difficult to get CI when there's still -111 J/kg MLCIN hanging around. Convective temperature there is 98 degrees, and 85 isn't even close to that.

Anticyclonic curvature aloft generally dominates the flow here, which is not conducive to large scale ascent that would lift/erode the cap.
