Also, a fairly new type of CAPE, ECAPE! It accounts for dry air entraiment. "Substantial mixing occurs between the upward-moving air currents in thunderstorms (updrafts) and the surrounding comparatively dry environmental air, through a process called entrainment. Entrainment controls thunderstorm intensity via its diluting effect on the buoyancy of air within updrafts." CAPE values we see plotted are almost never full realized due to dry air entrainment. How much entrainment occurs varies greatly. https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/mwre/147/3/mwr-d-18-0137.1.xml AMS24poster.pdf

Powerful cell heading SE towards Oshkosh WI, the start of something potentially big.

Absolutely drenching rain and thunder but after the first burst the wind isn't as bad.

Oh wow hope you and your dog stay safe also stays calm too .

The thunder is almost continuous to my north right now. I've got one dog who hates storms and she's just beside herself.

Had some thunder earlier east of 65 was quite noisy but pleasant I’ll take another round of rain and thunder peaceful yep ikr was quite hot and steamy out today also looking on satellite looks like there’s a complex diving down from east ky .

Maybe you can get some better convevtion if you havent beem touched,dunno https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G19&sector=smv&band=EXTENT3&length=24&dim=1&refresh=true

I always worry about really strong winds with these, especially when it's really warm ahead of them. Always feels like there's that downburst potential. Hopefully it's just a hard rainer like you said.

See what happens,there is a statinonary boundary into Southern KY,with A MCS diving down,shouldnt be severe now,just a drought buster

The storm is probably 35 miles north of me but the thunder is already pretty loud and frequent.

Peaked 85/76/95 here in town today. Muggy! Cloudy most of the day, but when the sun did peak out temp jumped. Midday, then again during the evening. Some shwrs/stms passed thru, but not much fell.

From an Evansville, IN, pro-met These were the observations at Evansville, IN for 4-5-6pm on July 26, 2026. The dew point readings were 80-80 and 81. The 81 deg. F dewpoint tied the record for highest dew point in history at this location. It happened on 4 previous occasions.

HRRR selling a derecho late morning to early afternoon tomorrow

I picked a bad day for baling hay. I think I lost 10lbs water weight. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Bet on the wetter look…it’s been this for the last 3 months. Every frieken week we kill it. Let’s do it again Tuesday plus. It wants to rain mid week..every week. Here we go. Lawns green as can be here…looks like we keep it going!

Heck yeah I’m down for that yeah there more thunderstorms developing in ky sliding on down .

Looks like there's been some expansion upstream of me in Kentucky, so it may actually storm here. As Jax noted, probably gonna be a ton of lightning and thunder with these.

50-60mph?

should get a good light show in the next few min,plenty of instability to work with

I got above 97 for a bit this afternoon. Highest I've recorded on my PWS. I just hope the monsoon hype verifies this week.

Baseball sized hail warned storm NW of Richmond don’t see that very often around here

When your opposition calls you a "evil communist" and your retort is to post appreciation for actual evil communists...

Nor'easter in July?
