Environment for Thunderstorm Development (PDT CWA)

Checking the environment today, it does look like we will see some scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

We are seeing a lot of GFS panels in the LAP product today, but with some satellite inferred as well.

There is a swath of enhanced CAPE, LI, and PW stretching from the southwest part of the CWA around the Cascade Mountains up to the northeast corner.

It will be interesting to watch how things pan out today and if anything turns severe.
