The environment appears supportive of conditional to moderate severe weather near Aug 25 6:00 PM. Storm initiation and storm mode will matter a lot.

The dashboard refreshes from newer model guidance on a schedule, but the advanced tornado-focused indices are partly estimated from limited pressure levels rather than a full sounding analysis.

* SRH and EHI are estimated from limited model levels and an inferred storm motion, so treat them as guidance rather than exact sounding values.

What the model is seeing

  • Peak model CAPE reaches about 1950 J/kg and lifted index bottoms near -6.2.
  • Approximate deep-layer shear peaks near 41 kt and low-level shear near 24 kt.
  • Total Totals peaks near 55 and K Index near 42.
  • Estimated SWEAT peaks near 322 and estimated SRH peaks near 231.
  • Highest severe-weather score peaks at 51/100 and tornado-focused score peaks at 41/100.
  • SRH and EHI here are estimated from sparse pressure-level winds and inferred storm motion rather than a full hodograph or sounding package.
