MAF - Convective development associated with increasing all-sky CAPE

1945Z: Convection continues to develop over the Davis Mountains of SW TX. Some mid-level clouds/supercooled water droplets are being identified on the Simple Water vapor & Day Cloud Distinction RGBs as the cu over the mountains continues to develop. CI prob values continue to remain around 50%.

Simple WV RGB:








Associated with this developing CU was a large increase in CAPE according to the all-sky LAP CAPE product where values increased from 200-300 J/kg to 800-900 within the hour. I expect this trend in increasing instability to continue into the afternoon.

All-Sky CAPE:
