Note that the convective
temperature has been reached. Although the K index
of about 18 indicates only a moderate probability of convection, other parameters
point to a good possibility of thunderstorms, possibly severe. The large positive
shaded area indicates a high CAPE
value of about 2500-3000 J/kg. Furthermore, a LI
value of about -7, Total Totals index of
about 50-55, and SWEAT of 450-500
also indicate severe convection during the afternoon.
