I know, but I’m specifically talking about the CIN in this case, as high low level lapse rates are needed to over come that.The convective inhibition being talked about here isn't a capping inversion. It's the nightly nocturnal low-level inversion that develops on the Plains from boundary layer decoupling. It happens after sunset; so, the amount of sunshine tomorrow has nothing to do with it. We're not looking for it to be broken or eroded because it won't be (although it may not build in as fast, the stronger the low-level winds are). We are looking for supercellular updrafts to get rooted in the surface-based inflow layer prior to it getting established.
And minimum cloud cover will most definitely help with this.
